Tear rinsed kale leaves into bite sized pieces. I tried to keep my uniform for even cooking.
Put kale in a medium glass bowl and add olive oil, onion powder, and sea salt. Toss with your hands until the leaves are all coated.
Put leaves on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake in a 350-degree oven for 4 minutes.
Using oven tongues, turn leaves over or just stir them around with a spatula. Bake for another 3 to 4 minutes. If the edges start to turn brown, yank those babies out. Cook until crispy (they should still be green).
Cool and try to keep your kids from inhaling them.
Notes
Recipe Tips:
Tip: Kale is a cool weather loving crop, so if you see any starts at local nurseries, grab those babies and get them in quick for a fall/winter harvest.
Storage: If you happen to have any kale chips left over, store them in an airtight container lined with a paper towel for two or three days. They may soften during storage, so we like to bake as many as we think we'll eat in one sitting.
