Ingredients

  • 1 bunch curly kale stems and veins removed with a sharp knife (about 13 cups of leaves)
  • 1/4 cup raw sesame seeds ground in a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees (I used my convection oven setting).
  2. Wash and spin dry kale leaves in a salad spinner. Remove kale leaves and place in a single layer on a cloth or paper towel. Gently blot any excess water from the leaves. Let air dry until no more moisture remains on the leaves (about 30-45 minutes).
  3. Place kale leaves in a large bowl and toss well with remaining ingredients, making sure each leaf is seasoned.
  4. Transfer kale leaves to 2-3 cookie sheets (depending on the size) lined with parchment paper, making sure kale leaves are in a single layer.
  5. Bake for 5 minutes. Turn leaves over. Bake another 5 minutes. Some leaves will turn dry and crunchy faster than others; remove the ones that are done, then return cookie sheet to over and continue to bake another 2-4 minutes, checking every few minutes, turning the leaves over, and removing the ones that are done. Be careful as kale leaves burn easily.
