Salt to tastewe just got alder smoked sea salt from Mountain Rose Herbs that gave these a slight smoky flavor without me burning them.
Instructions
Tear rinsed kale leaves into bite sized pieces. I tried to keep my uniform for even cooking. Put them 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 and bake in a 350 degree oven for 4 minutes. Using oven tongues, turn leaves over or just stir them around. Put in for another 3 to 4 minutes. If the edges start to turn brown, yank those babies out. Cook until crispy, they'll still be green.
Cool and try to keep your kids from inhaling them. I have no idea how these would store, because even when I baked two pans, they were all gone by that evening.
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.
