Makes 4 servings (about 2 cups each)

Ingredients

  • 1 large bunch or bag of kale, tough stems removed, leaves torn into pieces (about 16 cups)
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • ¼ tsp. Kosher or sea salt

 Directions:

  1. Position racks in upper third and center of oven; Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Rinse, then thoroughly dry kale with a paper towel; transfer to a large bowl. Drizzle kale with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat.
  3. Spread kale onto baking sheets in a single layer. If using multiple pans, you may want to turn the pans and switch from top to bottom after 4-5 minutes to prevent burning. Bake until leaves are crisp, about 8-12 minutes total.
