Easy Kale Chips

1 bunch kale, washed and dried
Olive oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash the kale and remove the leaves from the hard stem (tearing with your hands is fine). Be sure the kale is dry as it may not become crispy enough if it is wet.

Add olive oil in increments of 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing well between additions until kale is lightly coated with oil. Line two baking sheet with parchment paper (or foil) and lightly coat with oil or cooking spray. Place kale in a single layer on baking sheet and bake for 7-10 minutes.

Check carefully as it can burn quickly if you are not careful. If desired add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese during last few minutes of baking time. These crumble easily so be sure to eat
