Ok, I admit it. I jumped on the Kale Train, headed straight to Trendytown.
Whatever, they were good.
Kale Chips
1 head of hearty kale
1- 2 T olive oil
salt
pepper
garlic powder*
paprika*
*optional
Preheat your oven to 425.
Pull apart you head of kale. Rip the kale by hand, tearing the leafy green from the rib on the larger, outer leaves (the ribs on the inner leaves aren't as tough, so they can stay). Rinse the leaves and pat them dry. Lightly toss them in a bowl with the olive oil, a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper (and pinches of garlic and paprika if you so choose). Lay them flat in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and roast those bad boys for about 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before indulging in they're trendy goodness.
P.S....Even babies like them:
