Yummy! Kale Chips

Ingredients:
2 bunches kale
2 T. olive oil
1/4 t. garlic powder
1/4 t. chili powder or chipotle powder
4 T. Nutritional yeast
1/4 t. cumin
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. onion powder

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350º F (about 175º C).
2. Wash and thoroughly dry kale (a salad spinner works well for this).
3. Tear kale into large pieces, discarding stems - toss them or save them for soup.
4. Spread kale onto cookie sheets
5. Sprinkle or spray kale lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with spice mixture.
6. Bake kale for 9-12 minutes, or until crispy but not burnt.



For cheesy chips use this mixture:
COATING:
1 cup cashews, (soaked 2 hours)
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
juice of 1 lemon
2 t. agave (optional-I don't add, I like them more salty + savory)
1 T. nutritional yeast
1/2 t. himalayan pink crystal salt (use more or less to taste)
Preparation:

Put coating ingredients in Vitamix or blender. Blend until smooth. Using your hands, massage coating onto kale pieces getting it inside of curls. Put on cookie sheets (don't worry about flattening them, they're better bunched up) and cook for 15 - 20 mins.

I made some kale chips a couple of weeks ago after reading something of Lobsteriffics. I had some store bought, and then made my own, just like your recipe, but with chayenne pepper. They were hot, but better than store bought. Have some food pics to post when I get around to fixing main computer.
