Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the kale leaves from the thick stems and tear them into bite-sized pieces. Wash and thoroughly dry the kale using a salad spinner or pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Place the dried kale in a large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the kale and use your hands to massage the oil into the leaves, ensuring all pieces are lightly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oiled kale and toss well to evenly coat all the leaves.
Spread the kale pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are brown but not burnt. Check halfway through and stir or flip the leaves if necessary for even cooking.
Remove from the oven and let the kale chips cool on the sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain crunch.
