Kale Chips

Hi all!  I know my posts have been coming more slowly lately.  I guess you could call it a writer's block of sorts.  Anyway, I've made an early resolution to get back on board with frequent posts.  Here's a simple, nutritious recipe to start things off...

Baked Kale Chips

1 bunch curly kale
about a tbsp olive oil
sea salt to taste

Preheat the oven to 350F. Thoroughly wash the kale and dry with paper towels.  Use kitchen shears, a knife, or your hands to remove the leaves from the thick stems and into bite-sized pieces.  Line a couple of baking sheets with foil or parchment paper, spread the kale into a single layer on each of the baking sheets, and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and toss to distribute evenly. Bake for 9 minutes; longer if needed, but definitely check after 9 minutes. They are done when the edges are crispy.  If they are overcooked, they quickly take on a burnt taste, so be careful here.

I made a bunch a few minutes ago, and they are at least half gone already... Yeah for dark, leafy greens!

Stay tuned for some Sunday Soup later this evening...
