Crispy Chard Chips


Crispy Chard Chips

1 bunch chard (or kale, or any hearty green)
1-2 T olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Rinse the chard leaves and tear them into pieces-they can be as large or small as you want-I went pretty large. Drizzle two cookie sheets with the olive oil and divide the chard pieces between them. Using your hands, toss the leaves with the olive oil until they are evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt and pepper (and other spices if you want-garlic salt, paprika, chili powder...go crazy!).

Place on a middle rack in the oven and bake until dry and crispy, about 20 minutes. Once they are cool, they shouldn't stick to the bottom of the pan (thanks to the olive oil) but they may need to be gently loosened to remove them. You can store these in a Tupperware container or plastic baggies, but trust me, they'll go pretty quickly.
