This is likely to be one of the most unusual recipes you will ever come across. This is a whole different way of cooking kale, compared to the traditional braised/stewed greens that you may be used to. The end result tastes similar to a potato chip (but hopefully a bit more healthy). These were so good we didn't even have time to put them on a serving plate because they disappeared so fast. I wont put specific measurements for the ingredients because it really depends on how much kale you have and how much you want to make.
Ingredients
Kale
Olive oil (just enough to lightly coat the kale)
Large pinch of salt
Sesame seeds (these aren't essential but we added them because we had them)
Start by removing the large, thick stems from the kale (they won't crisp up). Then tear the leaves by hand into one to two inch pieces.
Spread the kale on a baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss together to coat and spread out in a single layer.
Sprinkle a few teaspoons of sesame seeds over the kale, if desired. Sorry for the blurry picture.
If you were smart, you should have pre-heated the oven to 400 degrees ahead of time. When it's hot, place the baking sheet in the oven and cook, stirring/flipping with a spatula every once and awhile until crisp and dark around the edges.
The process could take anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes depending on the amount of kale and the heat of your oven. Like I said, we ate this right of the baking sheet it was so good, and easy too!
Enjoy!
Love these. I want to try to make salt and vinegar version...ideas?
