  • 6 oz Chopped Kale Leaves (washed, dried, and remove stems)

  • 3-4 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 1.5 tbsp Olive Oil (or other plant oil, like avocado oil, etc.)

  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • .15 tsp Salt
  • .15 tsp Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F

Prep the Kale

  • Add kale to a large bowl and drizzle with oil.
    6 oz Chopped Kale Leaves, 1.5 tbsp Olive Oil
  • Use your hands to massage the kale to soften the texture and disperse the oil on all the pieces of kale.

Make the (Non-Dairy) Cheesy Powder

Make the Cheesy Kale Chips

  • Add the Cheesy Powder to the kale and toss with your hands to distribute the powder on all pieces of the kale.
  • Spread the kale on a flat baking sheet into an even layer. Make sure the pieces are not overlapping to ensure crispiness. (you may need to bake them in two batches)
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and flip the kale to ensure even baking.
  • Put back into the oven and bake for another 5 - 10 minutes, or until the chips are crispy and golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
  • Enjoy your healthy cheesy snack.

Notes

Once the Cheesy Kale Chips are completely cooled, you can store them in a plastic bag or airtight container for up to 2-3 days. After 24 hours it starts to lose its crispiness so enjoy as soon as possible. 😉
