Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
Remove stems from kale.
Wash, then tear the leaves into slightly larger than chip size pieces. Make sure kale is fully dry.
1 bunch kale
Place into a bowl and drizzle salt and olive oil over it. Toss the kale to coat leaves.
1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon olive oil
Place on a cookie sheet topped with a wire rack. See note if you don't have one. Ensure leaves are in a single layer; you will need two sheets.
Bake in 275 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. When they are just starting to brown, they are done.
Remove them from the oven and serve immediately. You can store on your counter in a tightly sealed container up to three days.

Feel free to add additional flavors to your kale chips. These are fantastic with just a pinch of cayenne or with garlic powder, as just two examples.
If you don't have a wire rack, you want to flip them halfway through to help them get crispy on all sides. Line your cookie sheet with a silpat or parchment paper to ensure the kale doesn't stick as it bakes.
