Baked Kale Chips

You just never know what your kids will eat until you try something. I have two kids and one of the two loves this recipe. I call that a win, I hope you like it as much as at least one of my kiddos does.

Ingredients

• 1/2 bunch of Kale, about 4 oz (cleaned, dried and steams removed)

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or canola oil

• ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste) OR ½ teaspoon Jane’s Krazy Mixed-Up Salt

• Vegetable oil cooking spray

Directions

Preheat oven to 300°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Tear kale into bite size pieces, toss with oil, and lay single layer on baking sheet or 2 sheets (limit overlap). Sprinkle with seasoning and spray lightly with cooking spray. Bake until edges are brown but not burnt (about 20-30 minutes).

Do watch these closely as there is a fine line between done and burnt.
