Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Meanwhile, flatten kale leaves and use the point of a knife to remove tough center ribs. Stack leaves and roll them together, then slice crosswise into chiffonade strips ¼ inch to ½ inch wide.

  2. Step 2

    Place kale in a medium bowl. Toss with olive oil, garlic and salt, making sure leaves are well coated with oil. Spread evenly across a large baking sheet.

  3. Step 3

    Bake, tossing once or twice, until leaves are crispy but not burned, about 5 minutes. Serve as is as a finger food or snack, or top with poached eggs as a breakfast or lunch dish.

So excited to have a crispy kale recipe that works; too many left me with kale that was more steamed than crispy. I didn't add the garlic but absolutely will next time.

This took a little longer to crisp up, about 7.5 minutes. Easy and delicious!

The temperature needs to be lower: at 500°, the kale was nearly incinerated after three minutes and tasted like burnt paper.

Serve over raita!
