kale chips

kale chips by joanie

I love kale and had to try this recipe the moment I saw it. I have to admit that this isn't my favorite way to eat kale--I love it raw!--but school is about to start and maybe this will make the perfect lunch side. Also, smitten kitchen mentions crumbling kale chips on popcorn, which sounds delicious (http://smittenkitchen.com/2010/03/baked-kale-chips/), and I think baked kale would make an interesting ingredient in furikake or onigiri because of its bitterness.

Update: I simplified the recipe, nixing the vinegar and pepper to get down to the tasty basics.

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch kale
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350.

Wash and dry the kale. Remove stems and cut into chip-size pieces. (I like mine on the large side.)

Toss with olive oil and salt. Be thorough. Kale has a lot of crinkly bits!

Spread kale mixture across 2 large baking sheets for minimum overlap. Bake on the middle-low and middle-high racks for 10 minutes. Switch the sheets and bake another 10 minutes.

Serve!

30 minutes
