Irresistible Spiced Kale Chips: A Flavor Explosion

Ingredients

- 1 large bunch of kale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon togarashi
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ranch seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon mushroom powder
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon lime zest

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (about 150°C).

2. Prepare the Kale:
- Rinse the kale thoroughly under cold water. Pat it dry with paper towels or use a salad spinner to ensure it’s completely dry.
- Remove the kale leaves from their tough stems and tear them into large pieces, roughly the size of a potato chip.

3. Season the Kale:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, Cajun seasoning, Old Bay seasoning, curry powder, togarashi, chili powder, ranch seasoning, and mushroom powder.
- Whisk the ingredients together to form a smooth, fragrant mixture.

4. Coat the Kale:
- Add the kale pieces to the mixing bowl. Gently massage the seasoning mixture into the kale using your hands, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.

5. Bake the Kale:
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Spread the seasoned kale in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring the pieces do not overlap.
- Sprinkle nutritional yeast and sesame seeds over the kale for added flavor and crunch.

6. Roast the Kale:
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges of the kale are crispy and slightly browned. Rotate the sheets halfway through cooking for even roasting.
- Keep a close eye on the kale to prevent burning.

7. Finish and Serve:
- Remove the kale chips from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheets.
- Transfer the chips to a serving platter and sprinkle lime zest on top for a zesty finish.
