Kale Chips

It's 2:30pm and my salty craving has rudely interrupted my day. I've been hearing about these kale chips for a while now and finally decided to try it. Best decision I've ever made! Seriously, these are a great alternative to potato chips. They're salty, filling, cheap, easy and extremely low-calorie.

Finished product!

Katie loves kale.

Preheat the oven to 350. Take a head of kale, wash the leaves, break the big stems off to discard, and tear the leaves into big bite-size pieces (they shrink when baked). It's very important to dry the leaves off really well. I let mine sit on the counter for a little while to air dry.

Transfer the leaves to a bowl and add 1 tbsp olive oil (or olive oil spray) and, with your hands, make sure all the leaves get coated. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and spread the leaves on it. Shower them with a nice coating of salt and bake them in the oven for 10-15 minutes! I take them out halfway through and stir. When they're done, let them cool for a few minutes so they can crisp up.

In the end, you'll have a nice bowl of crunchy, salty chips! I even dip mine in ketchup. Then they taste like crunchy french fries.
