Adventures in Chip Making

I started out making Kale chips using a recipe I got from gluten free girl http://glutenfreegirl.com/baked-kale-chips/. I changed the recipe a little
Oven 305
Big bunch of kale leaves washed, dried thoroughly and torn into pieces
tsp sea salt (course)
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
 Rub leaves with olive oil arrange on aluminum foil lined baking sheet sprinkle with spices toss around and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees

These chips turned out so delicious I began to wonder what other leafy greens would be like if i baked them into light airy crisps of veggie goodness. So I used dandelion leaves and arugula and using the same recipe as above only adding a 1/2 tsp or so of nutmeg. These leaves do not hold up as well as kale and you will need to tak a large flat spatula and gently ease some of them off the baking sheet. These chips also came out delicious I used less salt this time as well and a finer crystal of lower sodium salt with these.
