Kale Chips

Kale is an interesting vegetable. One that I should probably be eating more of since it is high in a lot of vitamins and has naturally occurring calcium and iron, which is hard to get when you limit your animal product intake. Anyway, who would have guessed that the dense, earthy green would transform so perfectly into a light, airy, crispy, and above all else addicting chip?! I made these for the first time and they were gone in a matter of minutes. They smelled awful, so bad that I was hesitant to try them, but they tasted like roasted broccoli and had a nice texture.

Recipe:
3-4 large leaves of kale, stems removed and cut into pieces
olive oil
salt

Place the kale pieces on a baking sheet lined with foil and spray them lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes or until they are browned and crispy.
