Kale chips

Ingredients

• 7 ozcurly kale, thick stalks stripped out
• 1 1/2 tbspolive oil
• 1/2 tspfine sea salt
• 1/2 tspsmoked paprika

Method

1. 1

   Tear the leaves off the thick stalks into pieces about the size of a crisp, wash them, and dry them thoroughly in a salad spinner and then on a dish towel.

2. 2

   Put the leaves in a big bowl, add the oil, and massage it in with your hands until every piece has the faintest sheen and no piece is glossy.

3. 3

   Heat the oven to 300°F. Spread the kale in a single layer across two large trays so the pieces are not overlapping.

4. 4

   Bake until the leaves are crisp and dry but still deep green, turning the trays halfway. Toss with the salt and smoked paprika while still warm.
