Baked Kale Chips

We've made these baked kale chips a few times.  I think they are better the closer they get to igniting into flame in the oven - gives them a nice smokey taste.

Baked Kale Chip Recipe

• 1 bunch kale, stems removed and chopped into 1-2 inch bites
• 2 tsp olive oil
• sea salt to taste
• chipotle powder (optional)

Heat oven to 375 F.  Wash and dry the kale.  With your hands put as little oil as possible on the kale to coat, and then lay out on baking sheets.  Sprinkle with sea salt to taste.  If you are looking for a little extra kick, also sprinkle with chipotle powder.  Put sheets in oven and toss kale every 5 minutes in the oven.  When they feel dry and sound like dry leaves they are probably done.  Watch for smoke after 15-20 minutes, because they might catch fire if left in the oven too long.
