Crispy Kale Chips

Crispy Kale Chips
Betcha can't eat just one of these light, crispy snacks. Nutritional yeast gives them a tangy, almost cheesy flavor. If you are concerned about gluten, check to make sure the brand of nutritional yeast you use was grown on beets, not barley.
  • 1 12-oz. bunch curly kale, center
  • stems removed, each leaf torn
  • into 4 pieces (6 cups)
  • 2 Tbs. olive oil
  • 1 Tbs. lemon juice
  • ½ tsp. sea salt
  • 3 Tbs. nutritional yeast

1. Place kale in bowl. Rub oil, lemon juice, and salt into leaves with hands. Add nutritional yeast, and toss well.

2. Spread kale onto dehydrator trays without overlapping. Dehydrate 2 to 4 hours, or until dry and crispy. Turn off dehydrator, and cool completely.

What temperature setting do you use if using a dehydrator?

I don't have a dehydrator for making kale chips. Can I bake it will it loose its nutritional value. How do I bake it

I just made a batch with lacinato kale. The taste is the same as curly green kale, but the texture (lacinato is flat and bumpy rather than curly) is different. I also made a batch with red kale- not quite as flavorful as the green. Still yummy, though! :) I use EVOO and nutritional yeast. I have sprinkled on sea salt, flax seeds, Mrs. Dash (table blend) and/or Old Bay Seasoning. Delish in any variety. I also bake my kale in the oven (350 degrees) for about 15 minutes. Always crispy and yummy. Better than a Lay's chip can't just eat just one, but then you don't have to! :)

You don't need yeast. I always bake mine in the oven, they don't get nearly as crispy (which is a bummer) but they're still delicious! I add TAJIN, the mexican seasoning on mine, try it... I swear IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!! :)

I'm out of yeast would it still taste good without?? Or can i use something else?

Many comments have wonderful help for questioners. However I am troubled by some that sound superior and snotty. Please remember when you had no idea of how to do something and needed advice.
