Kale Chips

I love chips. It's a problem. These are chips I don't have to feel guilty about. A few summers ago we started growing kale in our garden and since then I've scoured the internet for recipes and this has been my favorite way to use kale. My hubs will just throw kale in his smoothies.. that's fine for him but I was my smoothies to taste like fruit and I'll get my veggies in with recipes like this. I adapted this from Smitten Kitchen's recipe.
