Kid-Friendly Crispy Kale

Although the kale is roasted, not fried, it becomes crispy and salty, almost like french fries.

INGREDIENTS

6-8 cups chopped fresh kale, hard stems removed
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp sea salt

DIRECTIONS

Place a rack on the lowest shelf of your oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Drizzle chopped kale with olive oil and apple cider vinegar. Toss to coat completely. Spread on a sturdy baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.

Remove from oven and stir, then bake another 8 to 12 minutes or until kale is crispy. It should be just lightly browned and crispy to the touch.

If the kale still bends, rather than crackles, when you touch it, it isn't done yet. Return it to the oven and cook until crispy. Turn down the heat if it is getting too brown.

Remove from oven, sprinkle with sea salt, and serve hot.
