INSTRUCTIONS :

1. Wash and rinse the kale leaves after soaking them in water for about 10 minutes. Thoroughly dry the leaves by putting them down with a paper towel.

   Roughly rip the kale into large bits.

4. Sprinkle with the seasoning of your choice and toss well.
5. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
6. Layout the kale leaves on a baking sheet without overlapping one another.
7. Bake in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes until they shrink to dark green crisps.
8. Take it out of the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes and serve.
