Ingredients
- 1 bunch lacinato or curly kale
- 1 ½ tablespoon Tahini
- 1 tablespoon Stone ground mustard
- 2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 C), and line two large baking sheets with parchment.
- In a small bowl combine the 1 ½ tablespoons tahini, 1 tablespoon mustard, 2 teaspoons vinegar, 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast, and pinch of salt. Whisk together with a fork. The consistency will be thick and paste-like.
- Wash and dry the kale. Remove stems and cut into pieces approximately 3 x 3 inches. Irregular shapes are fine, too. *Having smaller, similar-sized pieces helps the kale dry more uniformly. But if you are short on time and don't want to cut/tear into pieces, the leaves can be left whole (after stems are removed; see photo). Increase bake time by 5 to 10 minutes.
- Use your hands to massage the cheesy sauce into the kale. A thin coat is best. Place kale on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Pieces that are overlapping won't dry.
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until the kale is dried and crispy. Serve right away, or cool completely before storing.

Notes
- Store kale chips in a container (with the lid not quite fully closed) for up to 3 days.
