Kale Chips

I definitely gravitate towards salty/crispy snacks when I get home for work. Instead of heading towards the chips and salsa today, I decided to tinker with making kale chips after seeing several recipes on the Internet. (Kale is a new vege for us, and until today, we had only eaten it braised or in soup.) My kale chips turned out to be delicious, super crispy, and sooooo addictive. I ended up making 4 batches today, and my husband said they were better than potato chips. They taste a lot better than they look, and because of the health benefits, we'll be eating this cruciferous vegetable on a regular basis!

INGREDIENTS:
1 bunch organic kale (makes two batches)
organic extra virgin olive oil
rice vinegar
salt to taste
organic garlic powder

DIRECTIONS:
1) Preheat oven to 300.
2) Thoroughly wash and dry the kale.
3) Cut off the stems and center rib.
4) Tear or cut into potato chip size pieces.
5) Drizzle about half a tablespoon of olive oil onto a cookie sheet
6) Place half of the torn kale pieces on the cookie sheet.
7) Sprinkle kale with salt, garlic, and a a few drops of vinegar.
8) Toss the kale in the oil, salt, garlic powder (or whatever seasoning you like) and vinegar until lightly covered and place in a single layer on sheet. 
9) Bake at 300 degrees (12 minutes in my oven) until crisp.
10) Repeat above steps with your second batch. 

Remove onto paper towels and enjoy!!
