Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams kale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the kale thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Dry it using a salad spinner or by patting with paper towels until completely dry.
Remove the kale leaves from their thick stems and tear them into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the seasoning mixture.
Add the torn kale pieces to the bowl and massage the seasoning mixture into the kale until each piece is well coated.
Spread the seasoned kale pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, flipping the kale halfway through, until they are crispy but not burnt. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. The kale will continue to crisp up as it cools.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain crispiness.
