Method :
1. Preheat over to 150 degree celcius.
2. Wash the kale and shake away excess water.
3. Remove the stems and use only the leaves.
4. Spread the leaves on baking sheet. Don't stack the leaves or the bottom layer will be soft.
5. Add seasoning of your choice.
6. Massage the leaves a bit with your fingers to mix well.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes till the leaves crisp up (middle rack)  
8. Serve immediately.

Note : Sweet seasonings need double cooking time as the sugary elements tend to add more liquid to the mix.
