Who needs potato chips when you can have kale chips? These Salt and Vinegar Kale Chips are just as tasty as any name-brand potato chips—and they're healthier!
Wash the kale, dry thoroughly in a salad spinner, and tear into bite-size pieces.
Toss kale pieces into a large bowl with the olive oil and—optional—balsamic vinegar. Rub the leaves to make sure each one gets coated with oil. This will make sure that your kale chips crisp up well.
Oil a baking sheet.
Place the kale pieces in a single layer on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with kosher salt to taste.
Bake for about 6 minutes, then stir and turn the kale. Bake for another 6–9 minutes. Remove crisp pieces as they reach the desired stage to prevent burning and to allow the remaining kale chips to get even heat.
