Crispy Kale Chips

Delicious kale chips with a little hint of heat.  And so guilt free...you could almost eat the whole bowl!  You can adjust the heat to taste.  Be sure to let them cool slightly when they come out of the oven if you want them to be crispy.  You'll need to do this in two batches...if you want to do them together, add 2-3 minutes to baking time and be sure to rotate the baking sheets in the oven so the kale cooks evenly.

• 1 head kale, cleaned and patted dry*
• 1/2 tsp. sea salt
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper or ground red pepper
• olive oil cooking spray

Preheat oven to 400.  Make sure kale is completely dry, otherwise it won't crisp.

Cut kale into in half through the ribs and then into 1" pieces.  Lay out on a cookie sheet sprayed with olive oil cooking spray (or on parchment paper). 

Lightly spray the kale with cooking spray.  Mix together salt, pepper, and cayenne and sprinkle on kale.  Bake for 6-8 minutes or until you hear the kale start to sizzle.  Remove from oven and let cool slightly, about 2 minutes so they begin to crisp. 

Remove to a bowl and enjoy!
