Kale Chips


This is a lot cheaper than what I can get from the store. They're $7 or more per bag of just a few ounces of the stuff.

So, this is my first attempt at seasoned, baked kale chips. The oven was set to 375 F. I used half a bag of kale with a tablespoon of olive oil. (Yes, it was extra virgin, the good stuff, but I'm not going to use that abbreviation.) In a large mixing bowl, I added a little pepper, some onion powder, a sprinkle of ground cumin, and some Mrs Dash (I don't remember which one). Finally, I grated some mizithra cheese on top, mixed it up, spread it over a cookie sheet, then stuck it in the oven for 15 minutes. After taking it out of the oven, I sprinkled some celery salt on top. It turned out pretty well. Nice and crispy. One recipe I saw said that if you add salt before you bake it, then it comes out more chewy than crispy.
