Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 4 cups of raw kale torn into leaves
  • 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300° F.
  • Chop the stems from the kale leaves and discard.
  • Wash the kale and lay it flat on absorbent paper towels. Pat and press with more paper towels until the kale is completely dry.
  • Tear the kale leaves into large bite-size pieces (consider that they shrink as they bake) and place into a large bowl.
  • Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over the kale.
  • With clean bare hands, toss the kale and gently massage the oil into the kale leaves. Do this until all of the kale leaves are evenly coated with a very thin layer of oil.
  • Place the kale leaves on a baking sheet, spread out evenly, no over-lapping.
  • Lightly season the kale chips with kosher or sea salt and ground black pepper. Season sparingly - you can always add more later, but you can't remove what you've already added.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then rotate the baking sheet and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the kale has reached a good level of crispiness.
  • Remove and let stand for a few minutes.
  • Eat ALL the kale.
