Ingredients

  • 1 bunch (12 ounces) fresh kale

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper

  • teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.

  2. Remove and discard thick stems from kale. Tear leaves into bite-size pieces. Rinse and dry in a salad spinner or pat dry with paper towels.

  3. In a large bowl combine kale, oil, salt, black pepper, and, if desired, cayenne pepper, massaging with your hands to thoroughly coat. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 20 minutes. Stir gently. Bake for 2 to 4 minutes more or until completely dry and crisp, being careful not to burn.

Tip:

Store cooled chips in an airtight container. If necessary, re-crisp the chips by baking them in a 325°F oven for 3 to 4 minutes.
