Spinach Chips!

Last week I made Kale Chips and I really enjoyed them.  But this week I am making spinach chips.
It is so easy. It is the same for either kale or spinach. You just:

Wash spinach and then dry.
Toss spinach with olive oil and some salt. Real salt like Himalayan or Celtic.  I actually use both. Or whatever seasoning floats your boat.
Place on baking pan and cook at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. I store them in frig. If they make it into the frig. It makes a great snack. 

I added some to my pasta for lunch. 

Enjoy!
