Ingredients

• 1 Bunch fresh kale
• 2 tsp olive oil
• salt, garlic powder, and pepper

Substitutions

Substitute salt, pepper, and garlic powder with your choice of seasoning. You can also season these with nutritional yeast for added protein, iron, and B vitamins.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F
2. Chop kale into 1 inch strips
3. Place kale on a baking sheet and sprinkle with oil and seasonings
4. Bake in oven for 15 minutes stirring approximately every 5 minutes until the desired crispiness is reached.

Notes

This recipe can be made with any type of kale. We grow curly kale and red russian kale, so that is what I prefer to use, but any will work. These are best served fresh, but can be saved in the fridge for a few days, although I do think they get a little chewy.
