Kale Chips with Cheesy Nutritional Yeast
Crunchy and extremely healthy
The first time I tasted kale chips, I was a vegan cafe, and they cost more than a sandwich at a normal cafe, I was shocked by the hefty price tag, but I loved them. They were crunchy, cheesy, and honestly, I could eat these instead of regular potato chips or processed snacks.
So, if you’re a potato chip addict like me, then, I would definitely recommend these cheesy kale chips.
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch of kale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Wash the kale thoroughly and pat it dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Remove the tough stems and tear the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces.
3. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
4. Add the kale pieces to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Use your hands to massage the seasoning into the kale leaves, ensuring they are well coated.
5. Arrange the kale pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping. This will help them crisp up evenly.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–15 minutes, or until the kale chips are crispy and starting to turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly.
7. Once done, remove the kale chips from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your cheesy nutritional yeast kale chips as a healthy and flavorful snack!
Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. You can also experiment with different spices or add a sprinkle of lemon juice for extra zest.
