Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
With a paper towel pat the kale dry. Remove stems and rip the leave into roughly 1-inch pieces.
Toss the kale with olive oil and a good pinch of salt. Put onto a baking sheet and cook until the kale is crispy and dried out, about 10-12 minutes. Let cool. Store in an airtight container.

Chef Tips

Use Curly Kale or Russian Kale to make chips. Lacinato Kale leaves are a little delicate.

To change things up for a delicious variation, before baking, try sprinkling a couple of small tablespoons of finely grated fresh parmesan cheese over raw kale chips when tossing them with the olive oil.
