Kale chips

The thing I love most about this snack (apart from how delicious it is!) is how fun it is to make! I never measure (so this recipe has no measurements), I just make them by feel. 

If you have a pizza oven, light it up for pizza one night and it'll be perfect for kale chip making the next day! Otherwise preheat your oven to 180C

Ingredients 

• 1 bunch of kale
• Melted coconut oil
• Nutritional yeast
• All purpose seasoning- I use Masterfoods all purpose seasoning 

Method

1. Cut the leaves of the Kale off the thick stalks and cut to chip size (about 4-5cm square)
2. Place in a bowl and toss with coconut oil. The kale should have a thin coating and be shiny, but there shouldn't be any oil pooling at the bottom of the bowl- that means you've used too much.
3. Generously sprinkle equal amounts of nutritional yeast and seasoning and toss to coat the kale
4. Lay the kale out flat on lined baking trays and bake until they are crispy (about 10 mins in a normal oven or an hour or so in a pizza oven)

Tips

Make in batches of about 1/3 of a bunch at a time
