I wanted ciabatta buns, but the damn bakery was out

so, wheat pita bread it is

decide to make homemade kale chips

(thanks sandra franks for this gem of a recipe)

just washed and dried flat kale

get rid of the fat stems

rip into pieces 

drizzle a couple table spoons olive oil

toss to cover completely

sprinkle some salt...i used big chunky sea salt

put in pre-heated 350 degree oven for 11 minutes
