I was skeptical that this would turn out the way that all the online reviews suggested it would, but it was like some kind of magic happened in the oven.
Kale Chips
1 bunch of kale
1 T olive oil
Sea salt to taste
Preheat oven to 350F. Wash kale leaves well. Remove the stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Toss the leaves with the olive oil in a large bowl. Spread coated kale pieces over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer. Sprinkle with sea salt. Bake in oven for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges of the leaves start to brown. Allow to cool.
The recipe I followed said that the kale chips are best if eaten relatively soon after being made. I didn't try to store them, but I can see where they might get soggy if you tried to.
These were surprisingly similar to potato chips, and actually very tasty. I would caution that you do not need to add as much salt as you might think, as I added too much on my first try. You can always add more to taste later. Oh, and don't leave these guys unattended in the oven, for obvious reasons.
Ooh, I have been wanting to make these! Going to give it a try this week. Glad you loved them!
