Smart KALE chip snack

Directions

1. . Pre-heat oven to 350F/180C/Gas4. Position oven rack in the center of the oven. Prepare two parchment lined baking sheets.
2. . Clean* and spin off water from the kale leaves.
3. . In a large bowl, place the cut kale pieces and add the salt, garlic powder, sugar and a generous drizzle of oil. Hand toss until the kale leaves are well coated.
4. . Arrange the kale in single layers and bake one sheet at the time for about 8-10 minutes or until the edges become a dark green and lightly shrivelled.
5. *Cleaning tip for kale: Only the leaf part is truly edible. Just tear the leafy part off its ribs and stem. Use the stems for a possible homemade vegetable stock. Washing: Fill up a clean sink or basin with cold water...1/4 cup (50ml) white vinegar and a generous sprinkle of salt. This will insure that pesticides disappear from the leaf crevices. Keep pushing and swirling those leaves in this water cleanser. Remove the leaves and re-fill sink or basin and rinse. Strain and if possible, it's best to put them through the salad spinner.
