Easy Kale Chips

A healthy and quick snack

Ingredients (serves 3)

3-4 stems Kale
Olive Oil spray
Pint Salt and pepper (optional)

Method

Wash the kale and dry them with a paper towel or use a salad spinner. It is crucial that the kale are dry to ensure optimal result. Tear the kale into pieces and put the in a big bowl.
Spray olive oil evenly on all the leaves. Add salt and pepper if you like. I did not and I can vouch that the kale chips still taste awesome :)
Preheat the oven to 350 F and bake for 12 mins. No longer or the kale chips will burn and will taste bitter.
Enjoy!

Notes

Many kale chips recipe says you should de-stem that kale but I did not because it seems like such a waste. I was okay to eat the stem along but some might find it too hard. If that is the case, just remove the stems after baking. They tear off very easily.

My 2 year old LOVES these. My recipe is slightly different though, I add a sprinkle of dried rosemary and 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese. Toss that through the leaves with the olive oil and a pinch of salt – VERY YUMMY! I usually do a whole bunch of kale (which is about 2 lined baking trays). They wither down a lot during the cooking and I rotate the trays about half way through the cooking process too so that they cook evenly.

These are so yum. I shake ground cumin over mine before baking in the oven, and I love them.
