Kale Chips (Alkaline, GF, Raw, Vegan)

Love love love these things! They don't taste like kale, they taste like some sort of other salty snack, awesome sub for potato chips! If you haven't had kale chips before, give them a try for real!

1 bunch of kale (in the pic I used purple kale, any kale works)
1 1/2 TBS olive oil
2 TBS Bragg liquid aminos (or soy sauce, tamari or nama shoyu)
1/2 tsp Real Salt (or sea salt)
*optional sesame seeds

Rip the kale into 3-4 inch pieces, and put into a large ziplock bag. Put in oil salt and aminos, and make sure kale gets fully coated. Put in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (to overnight) to marinate. Place kale on dehydrator trays and dehydrate for about 4 hours. If you want the sesame seeds included, you can put them in with the marinade, just a few sprinkles, or you can sprinkle them on the kale after it's layed out on the trays.

If you don't have a dehydrator, you can put the kale on a cookie sheet, and bake them in the oven on the oven's lowest setting with the oven door slightly open so that it doesn't just burn them, they are pretty thin. The time will be cut dramatically, but you will have to check and see how crisp the chips are periodically. I'm guessing it would be done in 30 min to an hour, though I haven't done it myself.
