Ingredients:
1 large bunch kale
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne
1/4 cup avocado oil
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
Additional salt if desired
1 large bunch kale
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne
1/4 cup avocado oil
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
Additional salt if desired
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350F. Trim kale from hard stems and cut or tear into 2 inch pieces. Wash and dry thoroughly (I suggest a salad spinner).
In a small bowl, combine chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, sea salt, pepper, and cayenne.
In a large bowl, toss kale with avocado oil. Sprinkle with spice mixture and nutritional yeast. Toss well to combine. Don't be afraid to press kale up against sides of bowl to make the spices and yeast adhere.
Spread in a single layer on one or two baking sheets (you can line them with parchment, but I find the kale gets crispier if I just do it right on the pan). Make sure kale pieces aren't too clumped together so that they crisp up properly. (you may need to work in batches).
Bake 10 minutes and then turn off oven and let stay inside until crisp, another 2 to 5 minutes. Remove and let cool, and repeat with any remaining kale. Add more salt if desired.
Notes:
Serves 4. Each serving has 7.68 g of carbs and 2.24 g of fiber.
Total NET CARBS = 5.44 g.

We love kale so I've been meaning to make some kale chips for ages but still haven't got round to it. I like the idea of courgette crips too, I'll have to give them a go.
Have tried the courgette crisps must try the kale ones to. Courgette ones were very good.

I am still on my kale chip/crispy kick. As well as anything else I can dry out in the oven. My favorite it pink salt and organic cayenne powder. Oh my gosh, so gooood.
Ivy - thanks for your comment.
Yes pink salt and cayenne pepper are popular seasoning/flavourings, and seem to be gaining more popularity. There is a great variety of spices / seasoning available to suit all tastes.
Enjoy those kale chips!

I grew up with paprika and cayenne, but not pink salt.
Though, I won't buy it already ground when freshly ground is so yum!

Pink Salt has gained in popularity ... some love it whilst others are not so sure. With any foods it all comes down to personal choice.
