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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper.
Step 5
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oiled kale and toss well to evenly coat all the leaves.
Step 6
Spread the kale pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping for even baking.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the kale chips cool on the sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Step 9
Once cooled, enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain crunch.
