Yields2 ServingsPrep Time5 minsCook Time25 minsTotal Time30 mins

Ingredients

 1 tbsp tahini
 2 tsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
 1 tsp garlic powder
 4 cups organic kale (curly or lacinato, destemmed, leaves torn into pieces)
 1 pinch salt (optional, +1 pinch as desired)

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2

In a large bowl, add the tahini, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and garlic powder. Mix well.

3

Add the kale and lightly massage the kale into the cheesy blend using clean hands. You’ll want the leaves just slightly wilted so massaging for just 15–30 seconds will do.

4

Place kale on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Pieces that are overlapping won't dry. Sprinkle 2 pinches of salt onto the kale, if desired.

5

Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the kale is dried and crispy. Serve right away, or cool completely before storing.

Chef's Notes

Substitutions
In place of kale, use another hardy leafy green such as mustard, collards, or Swiss Chard.

Instead of lemon juice you could use organic apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar.

In place of garlic powder use onion powder.

Storage
Store the kale chips in a container with the lid slightly open for up to 3 days. Note that leftover kale chips won’t be as crispy so it’s best to eat them straight out of the oven!
