First, I preheat my oven to 350˚ then I wash and dry the kale. Then I remove the heavy stalks by holding each leaf with stalk side up and run my finger and thumb down to the end. Next tear into bite size pieces as pictured below.
Place all the pieces of torn kale an baking sheets being careful not to overcrowd. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil all over the kale and sprinkle sea salt, garlic powder and nutritional yeast as well. Stir gently to mix and coat all of the kale pieces.
Place on middle rack of your oven and bake for 15 minutes. Check the kale to see if it's done you may have to gently stir the kale around to loosen the edges from the pan. Put back in the oven for 5 more minutes. After the five minutes of time shut the oven off and let the kale sit another 5 minutes in the oven. The kale chips are ready when they are crisp. Serve warm.
WARNING: These are highly addictive.....you may never steam kale again. By the way if your kids are not eating their greens they WILL LOVE these!!!!!! I know this for a fact.... as my son who is not fond of greens will absolutely devour these!!!!!
Happy Cooking!!!

Lisa I love seeing your website -- it is so beautiful and vital! And yum, I've been skeptical about kale chips but Mima raves about them -- so I'm gonna try your recipe! Remember those crazy vegie Thanksgivings we had decades ago? Our gallant and extravagant tofu turkeys and those delish Tofu loaves with baked in the cornbread? Giggles!
Thanks Aviva! Oh boy do I remember all the good food we cooked....those were some of the best meals ever....decades ago...that sounds strange to say decades! how could it be decades? blessings....enjoy the kale chips....just watch out you will start to crave them! xoxo
Lisa, I'll surely try this kale chips recipe. Such a healthy treat for kids. :) Btw, instead of olive oil, is it okay to use coconut oil?
So happy you are going to try this recipe. Coconut oil would be great! Go for it! Let me know how it goes.
I didn't make enough! This recipe is also very delicious for eating raw Kale.
