Kale chips are a plant-based classic, but when made fresh at home, they’re an entirely new level of deliciousness. They’re light, crispy, and full of flavor—plus, they’re completely oil-free and nutrient-packed!
Here’s the Recipe:
Ingredients:
-
- 1 bunch of kale, stems removed, leaves torn into bite-sized pieces (you can double or tripple this recipe as the kale does shrink and they are VERY tasty!)
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast (for a cheesy flavor)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp Celtic salt
Instructions:
-
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Wash and dry the kale thoroughly. Use a salad spinner or pat dry with a towel—dry kale is key for crispiness.
- Toss the kale in a bowl with nutritional yeast, paprika, garlic powder and sea salt until evenly coated.
- Spread the kale on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure the pieces don’t overlap.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, checking often to avoid burning. They’re done when they’re crisp and slightly golden.
Why You’ll Love It:
-
- Made with simple, whole-food ingredients
- Completely oil-free and packed with vitamins A, C, and K
- Perfect for snacking, lunchbox additions, or party platters
Where to Find Ingredients:
You can find fresh kale and nutritional yeast at most grocery stores or health food shops. For extra crunch, look for curly kale—it’s the best variety for chips!

I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
