Around the time I started to show more interest in a plant-based lifestyle, Kale had the ultimate glow-up. Kale went from being the most unwanted green to the most versatile and health beneficial green. What really got me to appreciate kale was the amazing trend of Kale Chips!

If you absolutely hate vegetables, then I could not recommend anything better than some delicious Kale Chips. They are light, crispy, and take on the flavor of whatever you decide you want to season it. I love classic, salty flavored Kale Chips, but I decided to go a bit kalezy and create 4 different amazing flavors to cover all your cravings. The secret to eating healthy and delicious is all in the spices. All four of these different spice combinations seem so simple, yet it makes such a big difference.


Here’s the 411 for those not familiar with the stars of this recipe:

  • Nutritional Yeast (Nooch): Provides a nutty flavor that many associate with a cheesy flavor profile. Great source of B12 and can be found in most grocery stores in the condiments section.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F and prepare baking pan with a silicon baking mat, parchment paper, or a light coat of oil.
  2. Wash, remove the stem, dry, and shred kale into bite sized pieces (drying the kale allows the seasoning to stick better)
  3. Combine the spice combination of your choice in a small bowl.
  4. In a large bowl evenly coat kale with olive oil, then evenly coat with spice mixture.
  5. Once coated, evenly lay out kale on baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes (or until crispy) flipping kale halfway through.
  6. Remove pan from oven and allow kale to cool for 3-5 minutes to fully crisp up.
  7. Eat while fresh!

Kale Chips will completely change the way you look at kale, in the best way possible. I wish I could be there to witness your first bite, but I hope you ENJOY glowing up the amazingly nutritious green beauty, kale.
