adapted from Roost

Ingredients:

• A bunch of Kale leaves (green kale, Lacinato kale), rinsed, dried and remove the thick stem from the kale and discard
• extra virgin olive oil
• sea salt, a pinch
• ground black pepper

Method A:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Toss kale with olive oil in a large bowl.  Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
3. Arrange leaves in single layer on baking sheet.  Bake until crispy and slightly dark on the edges, (12-15 minutes for flat leaves, 15-20 minutes for wrinkled leaves).  
4. Transfer leaves to plate to cool.  Enjoy!

Method B:

1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F
2. Toss kale with olive oil in a large bowl.  Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. 
3. Arrange leaves in single layer on baking sheet.  
4. Bake until crispy - 30 to 33 minutes.  Enjoy!

Note:

• Baking times may vary from oven to oven.
• Method A for more charred flavor and Method B for a clean roasted flavor.  Both methods are just as good.
