Baked Kale Chips
Ingredients
1 bunch kale
1 Tbsp olive oil
Himalayan salt, to taste or omit.
Prepatation
Preheat oven to 200°F or the lowest your oven will go. If you want this truly raw then the food needs to be dehydrated at less than 118º. Rinse and dry the kale, then remove the stems and tough center ribs. Cut into large pieces, spray with olive oil (I use a can with olive oil that sprays), then sprinkle with Himalayan salt. Arrange leaves in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Parchment paper allows for easy clean-up. Bake 20 minutes until dry. Place baking sheet or parchment paper on a rack to cool.
Kale-Dusted Popcorn If you’re making the chips with the intention to grind them up for popcorn, I’d use less oil — perhaps half — so they grind without the “powder” clumping. Grind a handful of chips (about half) in a mortar and pestle and sprinkle it over popcorn. I seasoned the popcorn with Himalayan salt.
