Rinse Swiss chard leaves and pat dry with clean kitchen towel. Trim stems and tear leaves into fairly large pieces of equal size, about 2 to 3 inch squares.
03
In small bowl, stir together curry powder, cayenne (if using) and salt.
04
In large bowl, toss chard with oil and then with curry mixture.
05
Place chard on 2 parchment paper-lined baking sheets in a single layer, or prepare in batches if necessary, and cook until dry and crispy, about 12 to 15 minutes. Keep an eye on chard chips toward the end of cooking time so you donu2019t burn the leaves.
