Recently, I did an event for nurses. I was surprised to find out that although it seems kale is everywhere, not a lot have tried to make homemade kale chips! It’s simple, quick, cheap, and easy. I think it was also fun to make! But be warned that you need to keep a close  eye on these kale when it’s in the oven.

Here are the ingredients you need: 

1 head of curly or Tuscan kale

¼ cup olive oil

Sea salt, for sprinkling

Optional: sprinkle grated parmesan cheese, lemon zest, chili powder, or garlic powder

Directions: 

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Strip kale leaves from stems (save stems for juicing). You may strip the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Massage leaves with olive oil. Add sea salt to your liking. Spread kale leaves on a sheet pan so that they do not overlap. Bake at 325 degrees F for 10 minutes (or less, depending on your oven). Check to see if they are crispy. If not, check every two minutes until they are all crispy but not burnt. Let cool and serve.

Enjoy!
