Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place the kale leaves in a large bowl. Using a few paper towels, blot the kale to dry thoroughly. Add the olive oil and salt; massage the kale with your hands until all of the leaves are well coated.
Step 3
Add the maple syrup, cayenne pepper and sesame seeds and toss until evenly coated. Most of the sesame seeds should stick to the leaves.
Step 4
Place the kale in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-28 minutes, until the leaves are completely crisp but not browned. Keep a close eye on it; the chips will go from perfectly cooked to burnt quickly.
Step 5
Taste and add more salt if needed. Let the kale chips cool on the baking sheet, then serve.

Chef's notes
My only changes to the original recipe were to reduce the maple syrup by one tablespoon and increase the salt by just a pinch.
