Kale that crunches...


I don't know about you, but one of my favorite things about fall is the sound of leaves crunching beneath my feet on runs through town or on hikes in the woods. So simple, so satisfying.

Do you know what else is incredibly simple and oh, so satisfying?

KALE CHIPS! On the fence about whether or not you like kale? Already decided that you hate kale? Love, love, love kale?
Kale chips are for YOU. Quick, healthy, delicious...as enjoyable as the sound of crunching leaves in the fall.

KALE CHIPS!

1 bunch of kale --any variety will do
olive oil
salt
pepper

1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Chop kale into bite-size pieces-- 3 in. squares, perhaps.
2. Put in a bowl and toss with a liberal amount of olive oil to fully coat it. Add salt and pepper and toss some more.
3. Spread chopped and seasoned kale on a baking sheet. Try not to pile it up; give it room to crisp up.
4. Bake for 15-25 minutes or until crispy, but keep a watchful eye so it doesn't burn.
5. Enjoy as a snack or crumble it up and sprinkle it on soup or pasta.
* Next time, get creative and try some additional spices.
