Crispy and chewy kale chips baked in the oven and seasoned to perfection. Enjoy these as a healthy alternative to potato chips.
Yield: 1-2 servings
Prep time: 15 Minutes
Cook time: 25 Minutes
Ingredients:
approx. 1/2 bunch kale leaves
1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or melted coconut oil
1.5 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt or pink Himalayan sea salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 300F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove leaves from the stems of the kale and roughly tear it up into large pieces. Compost the stems (or freeze for smoothies). Wash and spin the leaves until thoroughly dry.
Add kale leaves into a large bowl. Massage in the oil until all the nooks and crannies are coated in oil. Now sprinkle on the spices/seasonings and toss to combine.
Spread out the kale onto the prepared baking sheet into a single layer, being sure not to overcrowd the kale.
Bake for 10 minutes, rotate the pan, and bake for another 12-15 minutes more until the kale begins to firm up. The kale will look shrunken, but this is normal. I bake for 25 mins. total in my oven.
Cool the kale on the sheet for 3 minutes before digging in! This really makes all the difference! Enjoy immediately as they lose their crispiness with time.
Repeat this process for the other half of the bunch
How to Grill Greens
From: ohmyveggies.com
Step 1: Prep the greens
For head lettuces, like romaine and radicchio, quarter the heads but leave the core intact. This will keep the leaves together and making grilling a breeze. Sturdy greens like kale are strong enough to place on the grill individually.
Step 2: Brush with oil
Brush the cut sides of the head lettuces and both sides of the kale. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Heat the grill
Grilling greens can be done on a standard outdoor grill or an indoor grill pan. Heat your grill or grill pan to medium/high. You want to be able to achieve the great grill marks. Brush the grill grates or grill pan with some additional oil.
Step 4: Grill the greens
Place your greens on the grill (cut side down for head lettuces). Leave greens in place until slightly wilted and beginning to brown. Flip greens and repeat on the second side. Remove from grill and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
