I Made a Thing: Kale Chips!

So making kale chips is a surprisingly easy thing to do. I whipped these up last night to munch on while I watched Gordon Ramsey on Netflix. 

All you have to do is take your bunch of kale, (I got Tuscan kale from the Owl's Hollow Farm Stand at work), wash it for Pete's sake, remove the stem (or idk the middle vein part), cut the leaves into small pieces, and throw 'em in a mixing bowl.

I used one tablespoon of olive oil and a teaspoon of soy sauce on mine.  But the options are endless.  Some people just prefer sea salt, but I think garlic salt would taste great too, or lemon pepper, or even some taco seasoning. I can't wait to cook these more and try new flavors.

But anyway, I used my hands (wash them too, nasties!) to toss the kale a bit and massage the oil and soy sauce in.  Then I placed the leaves in a single layer on a baking sheet and cooked them in the oven for ten minutes at 300 degrees, then turned the pan around and cooked them for another ten minutes, and then I let them cool on the counter for about five minutes before digging in. 

Who knew they'd turn out okay?  I have to say that I'm pretty proud of myself, and they taste great!
