Sea Salt
Lemon (for added flavor)

3. Wash the kale thoroughly and dry it well using a salad spinner.

4. Drizzle the kale with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and your preferred seasoning.

6. Spread the seasoned kale out on the prepared cookie sheet in a single layer.

7. Bake in the preheated oven until the edges of the kale start to brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on them every 5 minutes to prevent burning.
