kale...

I made "kale-chips" for one of our family holiday gatherings and it went over...well, not great.  We enjoyed the dish; but I added "course salt" so it was too salty.  Making it again is a must as it had a light, salty, vegetable crispy and roasted taste that I found unique and delicious.  How to do it?  It was so simple:

• wash and dry kale.
• cut off the stems and then cut the leaves into pieces.
• put them on a cookie sheet and drizzle oil over the leaves.
• sprinkle with salt.
• mix the ingredients with your hands until the kale is evenly coated.
• cook in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes; gently tossing the leaves every 15 minutes.
• after the 45 minute time, if the leaves are not crispy, allow to bake for another 10 -15 minutes.
