Wash kale, remove the inner rib or stem, and tear into chip-size pieces. Make the pieces a little larger than you want the chips because they will shrink.
The kale must be thoroughly dried. I ran it through a salad spinner, laid it out on paper towels for 5 minutes, and then ran it through the spinner once more.
Put the kale pieces in a gallon plastic baggie and add the olive oil. “Massage” the kale to ensure that each piece has a coating of oil.
Arrange the kale in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or you can place them right on the sheet). You may need a to use more than one sheet or bake in batches.
Sprinkle with sea salt. Use a bit less than you think you need because the kale shrinks and the salt intensifies.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until the kale is crisp and slightly browned.
Enjoy!
Notes
If the chips last more than 5 minutes (mine did not) you can store them for 2 days in an airtight container or bag. Make sure they are cooled thoroughly before storing.
