Kale Chips

昨天家裏的冰箱壞了，沒冷氣。幸虧現在是冬天，可以把食物拿出去放，不必擔心會壞掉。我衹怕有動物聞到食物的味道而把我辛辛苦苦煮好的肉類給偷吃掉。

清理冰箱時發現還有一把上星期買的kale還沒有吃，想説拿來做時下流行的kale chips就好了。這食譜的用料和方法都非常簡單，而且烤好的kale完全不輸給potato chips。Kale chips十分爽脆，我敢保證不到5分鐘就可以吃完整盤烤好的。

Ingredients

1 large bunch of kale

3-4 t extra virgin olive oil

several pinches of sea salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Cut stems off of kale leaves. Tear leaves into large pieces, discarding the thick central vein of each leaf.

Wash leaves (ideally) in the basket of a salad spinner and spin dry. Since I don't have one, I dry them with a cloth.

Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and place washed and dried leaves onto the baking sheet.

It will seem like there's a lot of kale, and that's fine - it will wilt down considerably during its magical transformation into chips.

Drizzle olive oil over kale and sprinkle evenly with salt.

Use hands or tongs to turn kale a few times, ensuring it is evenly covered in oil and distributed on the baking sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes. Remove chips from the oven and spread around the baking sheet.

Place back in the oven and bake for another 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and spread around the baking sheet.

Continue spreading and baking in 5 minutes segments until the kale chips are ridiculously crispy - the only way to know is to try one. If there is excessive amounts of chewing involved, they aren't ready yet and need to bake some more. They should be super crunchy and not soggy in the least.
