sesame seeds, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, maple syrup, sesame oil. The options are really limitless. I have used Annie's Asian Sesame Dressing even.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 285 degrees.
Rinse and dry your kale leaves.
Using your hands or a knife, remove the thick, coarse stem in the center of each leaf. I just tear the leaves off in chunks away from the thick rib. No exact size necessary, make them as perfect or not perfect as you like.
In a bowl large enough to accommodate all the leaves, make your dressing by whisking all the ingredients together.
Place the leaves in the bowl and using your hands, toss and rub the dressing throughout all the leaves making sure they are all thoroughly coated.
Place in a SINGLE layer on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat.
Bake for about 20-22 minutes. Check your leaves, they should be crisp and crunchy, if not, put back in the oven for a few minutes until they are. Just be careful, when they burn, they taste bitter! I have put 2 cookie sheets in at a time to speed the process up with success. This recipe usually fills about 2-3 cookie sheets, depending on your head size. Taste the first batch, and if you'd like to add a wee bit more salt before cooking the next batch, now is the time!
Store in an airtight container. I recommend eating them within a day.
