Kale Chips
Yield: 6-8 servings

These mineral-rich pop 'em in your mouth crunchies make a low-carb alternative to popcorn, potato chips or French fries. The winning formula? Salty, sour and sweet.

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons agave nectar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 medium-sized bunch kale, washed, stemmed and chopped into 1-inch pieces

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Set the rack to the middle of the oven.

2. Whisk all the ingredients (except the kale) in a small dish.

3. Throw the kale into a large bowl and toss with the dressing to coat.

4. Spread the greens onto a large sheet pan in a single layer (you may have to do this in batches). Place the pan into the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. Toss the chips with a wooden spatula and place back into the oven for another 7-8 minutes, until the chips are crispy throughout.
