Tuscan kale chips are a great way to enjoy a crunchy and healthy snack. The leaves of Tuscan kale are removed from the center ribs and stems, sliced in half lengthwise, and lightly coated in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Once baked, the kale leaves become crispy and crunchy, making them a satisfying alternative to traditional potato chips. Tuscan kale is a hearty green with a slightly sweet and earthy flavor, making it a great base for seasoning.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 350°F.
2.	Place the kale leaves in a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Massage the oil into the leaves until all pieces are lightly coated.
3.	Lay the leaves in a single layer on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4.	Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the edges of the kale are brown and the chips are crispy. Serve immediately.
