Ingredients
- 1 bunch of kale, stems removed, ripped or cut into smaller, bite-size pieces
- 1-2 tablespoons regular olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, or amount to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper or pepper medley, or amount to taste
- optional: 1/4 cup grated Italian four-cheese blend for topping – the mixture I use had Asiago, Fontina, Parmesan and Provolone
Instructions
- Preheat the oven for 325 degrees F. Line 2 sheets with silicone baking mats (or parchment or aluminum) and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl add prepared kale and drizzle the 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil over it. Using your clean hands "massage" the kale until it is coated. If the bunch of kale is large, you may have to do this in batches. Spread the massaged kale over a lined baking sheet evenly (you might need 2 if the kale bunch is very full).
- Evenly sprinkle the sea salt, fresh ground black pepper and optional cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until the kale is crispy. Using tongs, you may need to move the kale chips around to ensure that it is evenly roasting.
- When they reach your desired crispyness, enjoy them as a snack or appetizer.
