Fan-darn-tastic Baked Kale Chips

I came across a recipe for Kale Chips on vegweb a while back. Since then I've adapted/adjusted the recipe. Making these seems to be a bit of an art so definitely adjust/adapt to your liking. Before trying these, my wife at best tolerated kale. Now she actively buys it at the market!!

Fan-darn-tastic Baked Kale Chips

INGREDIENTS

• 1 bunch of kale, washed and rinsed
• 2 T Olive oil
• 2 T Vinegar (e.g., Cider, Red Wine, Rice, etc.)
• 1 tsp interesting seasoning (e.g., garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, etc.)
• 1 tsp salt or 1 T tamari

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
• Cut kale into approximately 3-inch pieces (discard large central stems)
• Whisk together oil, vinegar, seasoning, salt/tarmari
• In a bowl or clean plastic bag, toss liquid ingredients and kale
• Lay kale onto cookie sheet(s) in a single layer
• Bake approximately 10 minutes, flipping halfway through until they're crisp

CAVEAT BAKOR!! These puppies are awesome if you cook them just until they just crispen, turning jade green. If you overcook them, they'll turn brownish and be disasterously bitter. Better to undercook a batch (i.e., slightly soggy but edible) than to render it compost!
