Recipe for The best Kale Chips Ever!

This really is the best recipe for kale chips! I've tried them fried, baked, and every combination of temperature. These rock!

Ingredients:
Kale (curly is less bitter)
Olive oil spray
Sea salt or other seasoning

Directions:
1. Rinse the kale and lightly shake to remove excess water.
2. Cut the kale leaves off the stems and spin in salad spinner to dry.
3. Heat oven to 350 F.
4. Lightly oil a cookie sheet or shallow baking pan with olive oil.
5. Divide the cut kale into 2 (or more) groups based on similar size, and cook in batches to avoid over cooking the smaller pieces.
6. Lightly toss kale in small amount of olive oil, or spray with a light mist using an oil oil spray can.
7. Place the kale pieces on the pan with the curly side down as though making upside down "V's". 
Don't crowd the pan with kale, again so the air can circulate better and cook more evenly.
8. Sprinkle kale with ground sea salt or your favorite seasoning.
9. Place kale in oven for 4 minutes then rotate the pan 180 degrees and cook for 3 more minutes. 
10. Remove the pan and check the kale is crispy. If not, place in over for 1 more minute. 
11. Enjoy!

Important Notes:
1. It's important to make sure the kale is completely dry before you bake or it will become chewy instead of crispy.
2. You can also wrap in paper towel and place in a bag in the fridge. The paper towel will absorb the excess water and the cold air in the fridge will keep the kale crisp while it dries.
3. Too much oil on the kale can lead to kale remaining soft but with burnt edges.
4. Placing the kale on the pan in an inverted V shape helps the kale cook more evenly.
