Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and fresh ground salt and pepper in a large bowl.

Spread on a large baking sheet. The kale does not need to be in a single layer; it will shrink as it cooks.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring every five minutes or so, until the leaves are tender and browned crisp on the edges.

You can add more salt or pepper to taste before serving.
