Kale Chips

I've seen this recipe off and on for a couple years now, but wasn't ever sure it would actually work.

Well...faced with half a head of kale that was going to go bad, I decided to take a chance.

Pretty delicious actually. (However, I'll ignore the smoked paprika that the recipe calls for. Made it taste a little too...um...earthy. A little garlic pepper and salt will fit the bill perfectly.)

There a very interesting, crunchy snack.

Baked Kale Chips

Makes about 8 cups.

Remove the center ribs and stems from a large bunch of kale and tear the leaves into 3-inch pieces.

Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic pepper and a pinch of kosher salt.

Spread on two rimmed baking sheets sprayed with cooking spray.

Bake at 350° until browned around the edges and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes.
