Kale Chips

Kale chips, the perfect snack.  So quick, so easy, so tasty, so portable.  In our house, a batch of kale chips lasts about 20 minutes.

Time: 20 minutes
Yield: approx 2 cups

Ingredients

• 1 small bunch of kale (about 1/2 pound)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce or lime juice or curry powder (or not! all of these are optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF (convection if you have it).
2. Remove center rib and stems from kale, discard.  Tear or cut leaves into bite-sized pieces. Wash and pat dry.
