Healthy Recipe - Kale Chips

Confession time - I love chips! I love salty, crunchy chips! So when I heard about Kale Chips I had to give them a shot and that is not all of the confession. I can eat a whole bunch of Kale in the form of Kale Chips all by myself without sharing with anyone. I guess it is good to say that Kale is a guilty pleasure right?

So are you curious yet?

Ingredients:
1 bunch of Kale
2Tbs olive oil
1 lemon
1 pinch of seasoned salt

First you prepare your bunch of Kale by tearing off the leafy part and leaving the stalk and midrib behind. Try to inch square size pieces but if not that's ok. When you are finished removing the leafy part from the stems wash all the Kale and then dry thoroughly with a paper towel. Once Kale is dry add olive oil to your bowl of Kale. Make sure all of your Kale is coated. If there are dry sections you can add a little more oil till coated. Then squeeze on your lemon juice. If you like a lemony flavor use the whole lemon if you want a little less lemon flavor just use one half of the lemon or you can leave out the lemon all together if you don't like it. Toss/stir to coat Kale with lemon juice.
Now for the fun part. I have a microwave dehydrator from Bed, Bath and Beyond so I can make my chips in a flash. If you have one as well lay them out on top of the dehydrator and then sprinkle with seasoned salt. With my microwave it takes 3 minutes to make chips. I would recommend starting off with a minute and a half then check them if not crispy then add more time till they are dry and flaky.
If you do not have a microwave dehydrator take heart you can do this in your oven as well. Take a cookie sheet and lay out your kale on the cookie sheet. Then sprinkle with the seasoned salt. Crank the oven up to 275° F and bake for 20 minutes.
