Crispy Kale Chips

Baked, not fried.

As we continue to strive for a healthier and more vegetarian diet (actually we just finished our last bit of meat in the freezer and are now doing the vegetarian thing), we find ourselves amazed by what we find at the market. Kale is not something that is foreign to our diet by any means; we love dark, leafy greens! But when you have a sandwich and you want something delicious, a little bit salty, and crunchy, the options are pretty limited. After much research I decided to whip up a batch of crispy kale chips tonight.

You might enjoy them--give 'em a try!

1 bunch of kale

2 tablespoons evoo

salt to taste

Preheat the oven to 350

Rinse kale and thoroughly dry kale(very important--dry=crispy)

Tear into about 2 inch, bite-size pieces

Toss to coat with evoo

Line baking sheet with parchment paper and then add kale

Bake for 12-20 minutes, until the kale feels like paper

Remove and salt (feel free to add whatever spices or herbs that suit your buds!)
