Kale Chips


We view kale around this house as the kind calcium source. We put it in our smoothies in the morning, steam it and add ginger/garlic/soy sauce and olive oil with dinner, make dinosaur kale salads (the name alone makes j happy! see below for recipe) for lunch, and now our new big thing is KALE CHIPS! The kid will eat these up in about 10 min. We can both go through two heads too quickly. Hope you like as much as we do!

1 bunch kale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon seasoned salt or sea salt

Preheat an oven to 350. Oil a cookie sheet.

Remove the leaves from the thick stems and tear into bite size pieces.
Wash and thoroughly dry kale with a salad spinner.
Drizzle kale with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning salt.
Bake until the edges brown but are not burnt, 15-25 minutes. Turning every 10-15 min. Watch carefully in those last few minutes.
