Kale Chips


This one comes from my mother, who found it online somewhere... I never thought I'd like Kale, but this turned out to be pretty amazing... Plus, if you haven't heard, Kale is SUPER good for you. Thanks to Tastefully Julie for the picture.

Ingredients:
  • 1 big bunch of kale
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • sea salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 300 F
  2. Wash the kale thoroughly under lukewarm water, then drain and pat dry with a towel.
  3. Pull pieces of the kale leaves off into potato chip-sized pieces, leaving out the stem.
  4. Place the kale in a big bowl and pour in the olive oil.  Stir with your hands until all of the kale is entirely coated.
  5. Season to taste with the sea salt and pepper, then add the lemon juice.  Mix this with your hands too, but be careful if you have a cut on your hands-- I learned that the hard way!
  6. Place the kale in a single layer on a big baking sheet (you may need 2) and place in the oven for about 35 minutes, or until crispy.  You may want to toss the chips every 10 minutes or so to make sure they all cook evenly.
  7. Sprinkle extra sea salt if desired, then consume. :)
