kale chips

kale chips are a delicious, really nutritious snack or side, that i tell pretty much everybody about. i like kale ok steamed, i think it's pretty tasty as a salad, but when you bake it into chips, it's absolutely amazing.
they are super super easy to make, and really only require a couple of ingredients.
all you need is kale, olive oil, salt, and i like to add nutritional yeast with the salt. but you don't have to.
first you just break up the pieces of kale, avoiding the stems(those don't bake well), into chip size pieces. put the kale pieces in a bowl and drizzle olive oil over them, be pretty generous, and then use your hands to get the olive oil evenly coating the kale. sprinkle on your salt and, if you're using it, your nutritional yeast, and spread the kale out onto a pan. bake for about 20 minutes, or until fully dehydrated and crispy, at 325.
seriously, try it. it's so easy and they're so good.
