My mom introduced me to this leafy green treat. No really, it’s delicious.
Seriously!
It’s not at all like you’re eating big leaves. It really is like eating the lightest, crispiest chips.
Make you some.
Be sure you start with really dry leaves, so wash them and then pat them dry with a towel, even put them away for a little while after washing so they dry completely.
Then cut the leaves away from the stem and into 3 inch-ish pieces. Spread them out on a baking sheet and LIGHTLY coat them with extra virgin olive oil and just a TEENSY TINY BIT of salt.
Don’t overdo the salt. Trust me.
Some recipes say to cook for 15 minutes some for 30. I found 25 minutes at 350 was the perfect time for our oven. Be careful not to let them burn once they get crispy.
That’s it, that’s all! The kids love them, we inhale them. You should try them.
This is taken mostly from how my mom told me to make them, but also from this recipe on AllRecipes.com

these are also good with parmasan cheese sprinkled on top.
Oooh! Have to try that!
I haven’t tried them with parmesan but a friend had some at work, packaged, from Harris Teeter and WHOO LAWD YOU GOT SOME MORE BECAUSE I’M ABOUT TO EAT YOUR WHOLE WEE LITTLE PACKET! I keep saying I’m going to so I guess I should so that I’m not scaring her by asking every day if she’s gotten more yet.
I honestly JUST posted about these yesterday on my (boring) blog:
