I love love love Kale! I’ve been growing it in my garden for several years now! One of my favorite things to do with Kale is bake it! This recipe is so simple and worth a try.

Ingredients:

8 medium large kale leaves ( washed and rinsed and patted dry) & remove large stems
Cooking spray
Garlic salt (I love penzeys)
Spicy Mrs Dash Blend

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees
2. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper
3. Spray one side of the Kale with Cooking spray
4. Sprinkle the garlic salt and Mrs. Dash to your taste preference. I’m light on the salt but generous with Mrs dash
5. Bake for 10 minutes
6. Flip the kale leaves
