CRISPY ROASTED KALE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange 3 oven racks evenly spaced in the oven.
- Lay each kale leaf on a board and, with a small sharp knife, cut out the hard stem. Tear large leaves in half. Place the kale in a large bowl of water and wash it well. Drain the kale and dry it in a salad spinner. Dry the bowl, and put the kale back in the bowl.
- Toss the kale with the olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Divide the kale among 3 sheet pans or roast them in batches. If you put too much kale on one pan, it will steam rather than roast and will never become crisp. Roast for 15 minutes, until crisp. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and serve hot.

- Massaging the kale: Massaging the kale with oil and salt helps to break down the tough fibers and makes the chips more tender and flavorful.
- Spices and seasonings: Feel free to experiment with different spices and seasonings to create your own unique flavor combinations. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
- Baking time and temperature: Keep a close eye on the kale chips while they are baking. The baking time can vary depending on the thickness of the kale and the desired level of crispiness.
