Spicy Parmesan Kale Chips

Ingredients

  • 1 Kale bunch
  • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
  • 2 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt to taste after baking

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spay with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • Rinse kale and remove thick stems. Chop kale leaves into large pieces (bigger than you would for a salad). Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together extra virgin olive oil, parmesan cheese, cayenne pepper and ground pepper. Add chopped kale leaves to bowl and massage oil mixture into kale leaves.
  • Place kale chips onto prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until chips dry and slightly browned. Watch carefully. They go from almost done to overdone very quickly!
  • Remove from oven and taste. Sprinkle salt to taste, if needed. Let kale chips cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container.
