Crispy Kale Chips! (Shop Favorite)

Ingredients:

1 bunch kale
1-2 tablespoons good extra-virgin olive oil
salt to taste, preferably grey salt to keep all the nutritional values high
1 tsp paprika
zest of 1/2 a small lemon
1/2 tbs lemon juice
1 garlic clove pressed or thinly minced

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Use a stoneware ovenproof pan or line a sheet pan/cookie sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cut the leaves into bite sizes (not too small, it will shrink) and remove the stems and reserve (they're fibrous but delicious steamed, similar to asparagus). Rinse leaves in running cold water and dry thoroughly.

3. Place Kale in a zip lock bag or bowl and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Add lemon juice, lemon zest and garlic. Season with salt and paprika. Let sit in the refrigerator for 10 min.

4. Spread the kale out onto the oven proof dish with no overlapping.

5. Bake until the edges brown but are not burnt, 10 to 15 minutes.
