In a large bowl, toss the kale with olive oil, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, black pepper, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, sesame seeds, and tamari.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, then flip the kale and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and slightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
Tips & Notes
- •Make sure the kale is completely dry before baking to prevent soggy chips.
- •Don't overcrowd the baking sheet, as this will steam the kale instead of crisping it. Bake in batches if necessary.
- •Store leftover kale chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They will lose their crispness over time.
