Servings: 4
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh kale
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Wash and dry your kale. Make sure the leaves are completely dry, or the kale will either end up soggy or burnt. *
- Remove the stems of the kale. Rip the kale leaves into chunks, or bite size pieces. Keep in mind the kale will shrivel up some when baked.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the kale on the baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Massage the oil into the kale, making sure to cover all pieces of the leaves. Spread kale out evenly on the baking sheet.
- Sprinkle sea salt and nutritional yeast on top.*
- Bake for 15 minutes. Rotate pan and gently shake around the kale. Return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on the kale towards the end, so it doesn't burn. Your kale should come out crispy, not burnt.
- Enjoy warm!
- You can save leftovers in a covered dish on the counter for a few days, however, it tastes best fresh! *
Notes
- To ensure the kale is completely dry, pat dry with a towel or allow it to fully air dry before adding the oil.
- An alternative to nutritional yeast is 1/4 tsp garlic powder.
- The longer the kale sits out, the less crunchy it becomes, so it's best enjoyed fresh!
