Cheesy Vegan Kale Chips

January 23, 2017 by Hannah 1 Comment

Cheesy Vegan Kale Chips

These kale chips are light and crispy. They taste like junk food but you’ll be getting your greens at the same time. I have been experimenting with oil-free kale chips for a while now and these are the very best. The key is the tahini which gets them super crispy in the oven. It gets even better because these are easy CHEESY kale chips. The cheese flavor comes from every vegan’s best friend – nutritional yeast. Oh yes, it’s so cheesy. I dare you to feed these to someone who says they don’t like kale. Seriously, you will make them a believer. Kale has a lot of protein in it so don’t be surprised when you eat a bowl of these and you aren’t hungry for dinner.

Ingredients for Cheesy Vegan Kale Chips

I chose to use lacinato kale (aka dino kale) because it cooks more evenly. Curly kale will work in a pinch, but you might end up with a few soggy spots and extra crispy edges. Make sure you thoroughly wash your kale. It’s alright to leave your kale wet after washing. That water will help spread the tahini evenly over your chips.

These kale chips are rich in nutrients. Kale is a powerhouse providing us with vitamins K, A, and C. Kale is also high in fiber, iron, calcium, and much more. Plus, it’s filled with antioxidants. The tahini provides us with thiamin, phosphorus, copper, and manganese. Nutritional yeast is full of vitamins and minerals, plus it’s a complete protein.
