Kale Chips

So this recipe may not be for everybody, but don't knock it until you try it! I'll admit I was pretty skeptical too, but I actually liked it! Kale is an awesome veggie, it's packing with vitamins, high in fiber, can help lower cholesterol levels, it's great for detoxing and the list goes on! The first time I tried it, I sprayed it with a little cooking spray and while some of the Kale became nice and crisp, the other leaves stayed a little chewy. The trick is to drizzle a teaspoon or two of extra virgin olive oil. Whenever you see kale next at the grocery store (especially if it's on sale!) pick up a bunch and try this out!

Ingredients
- 5-6 cups washed and trimmed kale leaves
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Crushed pepper/chili powder (optional)

Directions
- Heat oven to 350.
- Spread trimmed kale leaves on a large baking sheet and make sure they are not overlapping each other. Drizzle a couple of teaspoons of olive oil all over the kale and toss with your hands lightly to coat leaves.
- Sprinkle with a big pinch of salt and pepper, and some chili pepper (optional) if you like.
- Bake in the oven for about 20-30 minutes.
- Cool completely and enjoy!
