Our Recipes: Kale Chips

Ingredients:
- kale (We usually use a bag of pre-washed and cut kale, because it's easy.)
- olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- garlic powder
- crushed red pepper, optional
- cumin, optional

Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Put half of your kale in a large salad bowl.
- Sprinkle with olive oil and the spices. It's up to you, how oily, salty, spicy, you want it. Try out different combinations each time and find what suits you best. We like it spicy and not very oily. The important things is that there is at least a very light coating of oil in the kale.
- Mix together well with hands so that everything is evenly distributed.
- Spread the kale out on a large cookie sheet.
- Bake in the oven for about 5-8 minutes. The kale should be crispy, not dripping and not burnt (the color should turn a bit, but not to brown/black).
- Remove from oven and serve immediately in a popcorn bowl. If you don't eat it right away, it can be soggy, though this is also pretty tasty!
- Repeat the whole process with the remaining half of your kale while snacking on your fresh kale chips.

Makes around 4 servings.

The main idea of this recipe came from our friend Geoff in New Jersey. We have only altered the spices a bit. Thanks Geoff!
