Kale Chips



I'm addicted to this crunchy snack. So nutritious and delicious! Whole Foods sell those in small containers but it's much cheaper if you make your own. You can make a batch in advance for snacking or as a crunchy alternative to your favorite potato chips. Nutritional yeast gives kale an extra kick with a mild cheesy flavor but you can forego the yeast and use olive oil if you prefer a basic taste that's not too overpowering. Go crazy on spices--you can't screw up. It tastes good no matter what! Let it bake long enough so it gets really really crispy, about 1 hour 15 min or a little longer. They shrink in the oven so get two or three bunches of kale if you plan on making a batch!

Other ingredients to throw in with kale:

  • minced garlic
  • pine nuts
  • garbanzo beans
  • grated Parmigiano-Reggiano instead of yeast
