Kale Crisps With Sea Salt And Lemon Food

CRISPY KALE CHIPS WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the kale in a large bowl and dress very lightly with olive oil so the leaves are barely coated. Season with salt. Spread the leaves out across 2 roasting sheet trays so they aren't stacked up on each other too much. Roast in the oven until crispy but still green, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and dress with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a touch of crushed red pepper flakes.

EASY KALE CHIPS

Steps:

• Wash and dry your kale. If you prefer, you can cut out the large central stem (these can get kind of "sticklike" when dry) I usually do this with the regular kale, with Dino Kale I might leave it inches For kids, I destem. Try to keep the pieces no larger than 2".
• Mix together the sea salt, lemon juice and olive oil.
• Put your kale in a large mixing bowl, then pour the salt, lemon and oil mix over it and massage the kale for several minutes (until it feels like the kale is coated pretty evenly).
• Drizzle the honey over it and massage for several more minutes until it feels like the kale is coated with honey.
• Place the kale carefully in the dehydrator (if its bunched up, try and get it to lay flat) and set it at 115 degrees for 8 hours. If you make this the night before it works out really well as they are done when you wake up.
• If you don't have a dehydrator, or you are in a hurry, you can also make these in the oven, though they won't be "raw" anymore- I set my oven at the lowest setting (in my case 190 degrees) and put the kale on two cookie sheets, and then check them and turn them every 20 minutes until done. In my case it takes somewhere around an hour. However I prefer them in the dehydrator :).
