Recipe Introduction

This is Shauna's Recipe from her blog "Gluten Free Girl" http://glutenfreegirl.com/baked-kale-chips/

List of Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
3 large handfuls lacinato kale, torn into shreds
1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil




Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Combine the salt, smoked paprika, and garlic in a small bowl.

Rinse the kale leaves, then put them in a salad spinner and spin until the green becomes a blur. Round and round, spinning and spinning — let the kale dry. After it comes out, dry it even more with paper towels. Those leaves should be bone dry.

Put the kale leaves in a large bowl.

Drizzle over 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.

Massage the oil into the leaves. You might need more. You might have larger hands than I do. Use your judgment.

Arrange the kale chips onto the sheet try and slide it into the oven.

Bake until the leaves are crisp to the touch but still a dark green. (When they turn brown, they turn bitter.) Check at the 12-minute mark, to be sure.

Remove them from the oven.

Sprinkle with the garlic, smoked paprika and salt.

Let them cool a bit.

Eat.
