Directions

Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easy clean up), recommend 2 baking sheets to help spread out the kale. Remove the stem from the kale leaf and cut or tear into sizes of chips. Place onto baking sheet(s) and drizzle olive oil over the kale to lightly coat the greens.

Make an even layer of kale on the baking sheet(s) and place into the oven. After the first 15 minutes flip the kale leaves to help with the crisping. Bake for another 15 minutes and take out of the oven. At this time season the kale chips with sea salt and enjoy!

*Wait to season with salt until the kale chips are done baking as salt draws moisture out of what you are cooking/baking, therefore it won’t let the kale crisp.
