Instructions
Preheat an oven to 300F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Carefully remove the leaves from the thick stems and tear into bite size pieces. Wash and thoroughly dry kale with a salad spinner or paper towel. Transfer kale into a large bowl.
Massage kale leaves with olive oil until leaves are lightly coated. (Sprinkle with spices or seasonings – optional).
Spread out the kale onto the prepared baking sheet into a single layer, make sure not to overcrowd the kale.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until crisp and dark green. Rotate the baking sheet half-way through baking.
Cool the kale on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before serving it.
