Awesome Kale Chips

Today I had a huge package of kale, and needed to use it. I decided to do the best thing one can do with kale, and make it into kale chips.

I found this recipe and adapted it slightly --


4 cups of kale leaf pieces
1 1/2 T olive oil
2T nutritional yeast
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt

So first I put the dry kale leaf pieces (they must be dry, makes better chips!), in a large ziplock bag. I added the olive oil, zipped up the bag, and had a very fun time smooshing around the kale and olive oil until I was sufficiently entertained.

Next, I added all the dry spices to the bag, zipped it up again, and this time shook it (which was also, entertaining).

MEanwhile, I've been having my oven heating up to 300 degrees.

Now I open up my yummy looking seasoned kale bag, and dump it out onto a baking tray (I needed two trays actually). I smooshed them all around a little bit more in the tray until each leaf had its own spot more or less and they were not on top of each other.

Then, I put the kale in the oven for 10 minutes.

Then, I checked on it, and turned the trays around.

Next, I forgot about the kale for a little bit so they got a little overcooked but were still so very tasty. Ideally this next stage should only take 10-15 minutes. Make sure to check on your kale chips every 10 minutes to make sure they are not getting brown.

The only step after that is to take them out and eat them more or less immediately. :D
