BAKED KALE CHIPS

Whether you love kale or not, these chips are so delicious and so good for you.  Most men will turn their noses up at these, but give them a try, you may be pleasantly surprised!  Personally I love kale in any way presented to me.  

This recipe uses natural, vegan-friendly ingredients to give you a zesty, “cheesy” flavour to your kale chips.

* ½ to 1 bunch kale leaves
* ½Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or melted coconut oil)
* 1½Tbsp nutritional yeast
* 1tsp garlic powder
* ½tsp onion powder
* ½tsp smoked paprika
* Pinch of pink Himalayan salt
* Pinch of chili powder
* Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Preheat oven to 300°F (148°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (baking paper) set aside.  Remove the kale stems. Rinse and spin dry, then tear the kale into bite-size pieces. Leave the pieces to air out.  Combine the kale and oil in a large bowl. Massage the oil well into the leaves until they’re completely coated.  Mix the dry ingredients together in a smaller bowl.  Add the dry mix to the coated kale; toss to combine.  Spread the kale over your prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, rotate the pan, then bake for another 12-15 minutes until the leaves start to shrink & look crispy.  Allow the kale to cool for a few minutes.

Serve, munch & enjoy!
