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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Remove the kale leaves from their thick stems and tear them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Add the torn kale pieces to the bowl and massage the seasoning mixture into the kale until each piece is well coated.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned kale pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even baking.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. The kale will continue to crisp up as it cools.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain crispiness.
