Lemon Chile Kale Chips

Ingredients

• 1 bag of cut kale
• Olive oil spray such as Pam
• Freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 1 lemon, zested
• Cayenne pepper
• Salt
• Pepper

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange kale onto a baking sheet with edges in a single layer. Remove any thick pieces of stem between the leaves. This ensures that you will end up with nice, crisp kale chips. Lightly spray the kale with olive oil. Sprinkle with lemon zest, parmesan cheese, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to taste. Bake kale until crispy - about 10-15 minutes. Enjoy!
