Salt and Vinegar Kale Chips

Servings: 2-4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 30-35 minutes

  • 1 bunch kale, rinsed, de-stemmed and torn into chip size pieces, 2″x 2″
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a bowl, mix kale with all the ingredients and massage well.   (You can keep it as is and eat it as a salad, or…)

Lay kale out on a baking tray, giving each piece some room.  If they are piled on each other they will just get soggy.  Bake for 15 minutes.  Flip pieces and bake for another 5-10 minutes or until crispy.
