Kale Chips

1 to 2 Bunches of Kale
Olive Oil
Spices and Sea Salt to taste

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Remove kale from stalk leaving the leaves in large pieces
Place a little olive oil in bowl, and brush kale with oil.
Put kale on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes or until the edges look crispy and turn brown.  Keep an eye on it as it can burn quickly.

Tip: Try different kinds of kale or collard greens.  For added flavor, sprinkle with a little high quality sea salt or gomasio, or a spice such as curry or cumin after rubbing on olive oil.
