Kale Chips: Eat for Fuel!!

Kale is a member of the cabbage family, like broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussel sprouts, and it's incredibly nutritious!!!

Ingredients:
1 bunch of curly or dinosaur kale
1-2 teaspoons olive oil (just enough to lightly coat)
Pinch of salt
1 Tbsp nutritional yeast (can use Parmesan cheese)
1/2 tsp chili powder

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 
2. Tear or cut the kale leaves away from the thick stems and tear the leaves into bite-size pieces. Wash and thoroughly dry the leaves.
3. Transfer the kale to a large bowl and drizzle with the oil, sprinkle with the salt, and add the nutritional yeast and chili powder. With your hands or tongs, toss the leaves until fully coated.
4. Lay the leaves out on a baking sheet in a single layer, sprinkle them with more nutritional yeast to taste and bake until the leaves are crisp but not burnt. 10-15 minutes, checking every 5 minutes or so (feel free to remove ones that may be done ahead of some of the others).
5. Enjoy with a meal or for a salty snack!

May need to adjust salt based on your taste.
