Snack time: Kale chips

We love kale chips, which are as satisfying as potato chips but much better for you. This is one of those healthy recipes that take it slow, cooking it at a low temp for longer to get an evenly baked chip.

  • 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
healthy recipes
  1. Preheat oven to 150ºC. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Remove leaves from the stems of the kale and roughly tear it up into large pieces. Compost the stems. Wash and spin the leaves until thoroughly dry.
  3. Add kale leaves into a large bowl. Massage in the oil until they are completely coated in oil. Now sprinkle on the spices/seasonings and toss to combine.
  4. Spread out the kale onto the prepared baking sheet into a single layer, being sure not to overcrowd the kale.
  5. Bake for 15 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 30 mins. total in my oven. Leave the oven on at 150ºC or slow the process at 90ºC and double the baking time for a more crunchy finish.
  6. Cool the kale on the sheet for 3 minutes before digging in! This really makes all the difference! Enjoy this healthy recipe immediately as they lose their crispiness with time.
