Super Simple Oven Baked Kale Chips

I have never mastered the art of oven dehydrating. I tend to burn things before they are crisp, so I usually use my dehydrator for things like this, but that takes a while. So, I keep trying and I finally mastered simple oven baked kale chips! These are so quick and I couldn't keep the kids away from them:)

Ingredients:

2 bunches of kurly kale

2 TBS olive oil

Celtic or Himalayan salt to taste

Freshly ground pepper to taste, if desired

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350ᵒ F. Rinse the kale and tear it  off the stem into large pieces, as the pieces will shrink considerably as you can see in the photo above. Place pieces of kale into a bowl.
Drizzle with olive oil and massage the oil into the kale. Spread pieces into a single layer on baking sheets lined with parchment paper or Silpat mats. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Bake for 10 - 15 minutes, or until crisp. To make them extra crisp, I turn the oven off, let some heat out and leave the kale in the oven for about an hour to dehydrate fully.
