Kale Addiction

Hi, my name is Jacqui, and I have a kale addiction. Not just any kale preparation, but specifically kale chips with nutritional yeast (aka crack!). Turns out, my hubby has recently picked up my habit; he too is a kale addict.

Seriously though, I made kale with with Nutritional yeast over the weekend (again) and sent a bag with Chris for his ride to Harrisburgh. Apparently, there are now a couple of other consultants who are also hooked on the green stuff. Pretty soon, kale chips will be on the black market LOL.

Kale belongs to the Brassica family which includes cruciferous veggies like cabbage, collard greens, broccoli,Cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts.

One cup of kale; 36 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and 15% of the daily requirement of calcium and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), 40% of magnesium, 180% of vitamin A, 200% of vitamin C, and 1,020% of vitamin K. It is also a good source of minerals copper, potassium, iron, manganese, and phosphorus.

Kale Chips with Nutritional Yeast

1 bunch kale, washed and dried

1 Tbsp. olive oil

Salt and pepper for seasoning

2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast (or more), divided

Preheat oven to 450F.Revome tough stems from kale, keeping kale in large pieces for chips. Place in a large bowl (do this in batches if needed) and toss to coat with oil (clean hands are best for this job).

Spread kale on 2 baking pans, being careful not to crowd kale. Season with salt and pepper; sprinkle evenly with 1 tbsp. nutrional yeast. Bake for 7-10 minutes until crispy and lightly browned. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining nutritional yeast.





 Eat up and get hooked!
