Kale Chips

A friend of mine has been making these for a while now.  I have never had kale, so I thought it would taste bitter.  But as my little L is starting to eat solid food, I want to feed him more green vegetables.  I saw a grocery store advertisement last week and organic kale was on sale.  I picked up a bunch and asked my friend how to make it.  It is super easy she said.  And it is.  Here is what you will need.

1 bunch of kale, any variety, washed and dried.  Remove leaves from stem
1 tablespoon of olive oil
2 teaspoon of sea salt

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.  Place kale on baking sheet, drizzle olive oil over the leaves, then sprinkle the sea salt.  Use your fingers and rub oil and salt into the leaves and tear into bite size pieces.  Lay them in a single layer, you might need to use more than 1 baking sheet.  Bake for 10 - 20 minutes rotate pans and turn the leaves half way thru.  Check for crispiness.  These tastes like the roasted seaweed that we get at the grocery store.

Convection Oven - cook at 250 degrees for 4 minutes, rotate cooking sheet and cook for another 2 minutes.

Other variety to try:  black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic, garlic salt, parmesan cheese
