Ingredients
1 or 2 bunches kale, washed, ribs removed, and coarsely chopped.oil for foila little toasted sesame oilsesame seedsOR: Alternative to sesame oil and seeds, use parmesan cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line cookie sheets with foil. Lightly oil the foil.
If using sesame oil, put kale in a large bowl and drizzle with the oil. Using your hands, turn it until it's coated evenly with the oil. If you have a spayer, you could also spray the oil on after it's spread in the pan. Spread chopped kale evenly in one layer.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring/turning it 2 or 3 times. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and continue to bake for another 10 minutes or so. Taste test until it's the desired crunchiness. It will get quite crunchy without burning if you watch and stir it carefully.

If using parmesan, spread chopped kale (without sesame oil) evenly on oiled foil. Bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring as above. Sprinkle with a little parmesan (just a tablespoon or two depending on the size of your kale bunches). Bake another 10-15 minutes stirring and watching carefully until desired crispiness. Can be eaten warm or room temperature. It will keep well at room temperature in an airtight container.
About 8 servings.
