Baked Kale Chips

Baked Kale Chips

Crispy kale chips

Ingredients

          

1 bunch of kale leaves

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper

Instructions

Rinse the leaves thoroughly and dry in paper towels. Break off chip-size pieces, avoiding the stem and put into a large Tupperware bowl that has a lid. Put the olive oil on top of the leaves and shake the bowl until the leaves are coated with olive oil. Lay out the “chips” on baking pans and sprinkly sparingly with salt and pepper.

Other versions to try:

Thai – add sriacha to the olive oil before coating the leaves

BBQ – add BBQ rub instead

Ranchy – sprinkle chips with ranch dip packet after they have cooked

Asian – sprinkle sesame seeds before baking

Salt ‘n Vinegar – mix ½ tsp white vinegar with olive oil before coating leaves, salt after baking

The Consensus

I made these for a game of Settlers of Cataan with Ian and his roommates but I didn't bake them right so no one really liked them. I made the mistake of using extra olive oil (which made them too crispy) and extra salt (which made them way too salty), so don’t be greedy like me!
