INGREDIENTS:

• 1 bunch kale leaves

• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or melted coconut oil

• 2-3 tbsp nutritional yeast

• ¼ cup cashews (soaked for at least 30 min and drained)

• 3/4 tsp cayenne pepper powder

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• 1tsp of ground coriander

• 2 tbsp of sesame seeds

• 2 tbsp of black sesame seeds

• 1 tsp of fennel seeds

• 1/2 tsp fine grain sea salt or pink Himalayan sea salt

• ¼ teaspoon of chili flakes (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Preheat oven to 160C. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

• Remove leaves from the stems of the kale and roughly tear it up into large pieces.. Wash and spin the leaves until thoroughly dry.

• Add kale leaves into a large bowl. Massage in the oil until all the leaves are coated. Place all other ingredients in a food processor and pulse to mix well adding a little olive oil if required. Then massage on to the kale.

• Spread out the kale onto the prepared baking sheet into a single layer, being sure not to overcrowd the kale.

• Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the kale begins to firm up. The kale will look shrunken, but this is normal.

• Cool the kale in a wire rack or plate and store in an airtight container.
