Kale Chips with Parmesan Cheese and Garlic

Heat oven to 325 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat for easy cleanup.

Chop the leaves of kale into medium-sized pieces. Wash and dry them thoroughly, then place in a large bowl for mixing.

In a small bowl, whisk together the Parmesan cheese, kosher salt, black pepper and garlic.

In another small bowl, mix the lemon juice and olive oil. Drizzle the lemon juice and olive oil mixture over the kale in the large bowl. Use tongs to help coat all the pieces. Then sprinkle the Parmesan cheese mixture over the top, and use tongs to help coat the pieces with the mixture. Put the kale onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the oven for about 12-15 minutes. You want the pieces to be brown and crispy, but not burnt. I sometimes remove pieces as they hit the desired crispness and let some of the less crispy ones stay in the oven longer.
