1 bag washed/prepared kale (Trader Joe's bag makes one batch; huge Costco bag makes four)
olive oil
sea salt
grated parmesan cheese (opt.)
1) Separate the kale leaves from the kale stalks. (Save the stalks for smoothies, or for dog treats.)
2) In a large bowl, drizzle kale generously with olive oil and massage the oil into the kale until it's well-coated.
3) Spread kale evenly over large cookie sheet. Sprinkle with salt.
4) Bake at 325 degrees until dry and crisp (20-30 minutes).
5) Sprinkle immediately with parmesan cheese, if desired, and serve.
Chef's notes:
* These will go through a stage during cooking when you smell them strongly and therefore think they're done. Check them, but usually they're not. They usually move through this "smell them" stage and into another stage where you don't smell them anymore, before they're done.
* These will be light and crispy and airy when they're done.
* These take a long time (low and slow) to cook, but be careful not to overcook (burn) them. They're not good that way.
* One batch is not usually enough for any significant quantity of people.
