Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the kale thoroughly, remove the stems, and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Make sure they are dry before proceeding.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, tomato paste, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the kale pieces to the bowl and massage the mixture into the leaves until they are well-coated.
Spread the coated kale pieces evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren't overlapping to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your vegan pizza crisps as a delightful snack or appetizer!
