• 1 teaspoon Tamari (Gluten-Free Soy Sauce)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).

   Wash the kale thoroughly and dry completely. This is crucial for crispy chips.

3. 3

   Remove the tough stems from the kale and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

   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.

5. 5

   Massage the kale with your hands to ensure all the leaves are evenly coated with the seasoning.

6. 6

   Spread the kale in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

7. 7

   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.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
