    1/2 bunch kale, chopped (about 4 cups/1 L)

    Make sure kale is completely dry and then toss with olive oil and salt. Place on baking sheet and cook until crispy, about 12 minutes. Stir once or twice during cooking, and be careful not to burn the kale. Remove and let cool.

    Place cooled kale in food processor along with lemon zest and grind into fine powder. Add to prepared popcorn.
