I've had kale before in soups and salads, but when I saw this "kale chips" recipe I had to give it a try. My general consensus was that this was a tasty side dish or snack, but you are kidding yourself if you think it will satisfy your craving for potato chips.

First thing to note is that kale comes in a gigantically intimidating bunch like this:

Don't be deterred. Chop off the stems at the bottom and tear leaves away from any other larger stms up the middle. Then tear (or chop but tearing is recommended) into bite sized pieces.

Spread onto a baking sheet (or two) and toss in olive oil.


Add some sea salt, but be warned: you do not need as much salt as you think you need. Here's why:



It DRASTICALLY shrinks when roasted. Which means your seasoning will be super concentrated.

Roast at 350 for about 10 minutes until crispy, stirring often and making sure it doesn't burn. And that's it! Enjoy your participation in the latest food craze.
