The first time I ever ate kale chips, I couldn’t quite believe how delicious they were. I’ve long been a worshipper at the altar of kale, but accept that it is a hard vegetable...

1 bunch (about 6-ounces) kale, rinsed
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt, to taste

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 your raw kale chips when you toss them with the olive oil.
