Kale Chips


My mom gave me this recipe, and since I'm basically roasting every vegetable imaginable right now, I figured it wouldn't hurt to give this one a try. I have never eaten kale before (and if it's in my chinese food, I normally pick it out/around it).


But the kale was inexpensive, this required no additional ingredients to be bought and she claimed it would be like kettle potato chips. 
She was wrong. : )  However, I still loved it! Chloe wouldn't touch it and after much protesting Allison finally tried it and claimed that it wasn't so bad, "but it's a leaf."

No this does not taste like a potato chip. But it does have the crunch of potato chips so I don't mind pretending. You can't eat this at work though because it is a little messy (who wants little green chip crumbs stuck in their teeth at work??)


Kale (Just the leaves. Cut around the stemmy veins too)

Olive Oil (I used about 1 tsp)
Sea salt

Wash the kale and pat dry w/a paper towel. Mix with olive oil and toss to coat. Bake in a 425 degree oven for about 5 minutes, the flip the leaves (ahem, kale) over. Bake about another 5 minutes, but keep an eye on these so they don't burn.  Remove from pan, and sprinkle with sea salt.
