Baked Kale Chips

Ingredients:
Organic kale, as needed
Olive oil, as needed Salt & pepper as needed
Garlic, crushed or finely chopped (optional)

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375˚F.  Prepare the kale by removing the large stems and by breaking into bite-size pieces.  Wash and rinse thoroughly in cold water to remove grit.   Lay the kale between two towels to blot dry (you may want to do this in advance to allow the kale to air-dry some).

In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, pepper and crushed garlic (you can always add more olive oil later).  Toss the kale with the olive oil mixture until the kale is mostly coated.

Place on the baking sheet and toast in 5 minute increments until the edges brown and the chips are crispy (takes about 10-15 minutes).  Enjoy!
