CHEESY KALE CHIPS
An addictive alternative made with nutritional yeast. Who would have thought that leafy green chips loaded with nutrients could be so addictive? Nutritional yeast is deactivated yeast; it's not alive and has a slightly cheesy flavor which many vegans like to use as a cheese substitute. It can be found at most health food stores and some big-chain grocery stores.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
- Drizzle olive oil over the kale in a large bowl and sprinkle with the nutritional yeast and salt. Stir with your hands to coat kale.
- Spread kale onto baking sheets.
- Bake in preheated oven until kale begins to get slightly crisp; rotate racks and flip the chips, and continue baking until completely crisp, 45 to 60 minutes total. Make sure to keep an eye on them to make sure they don't burn; if you notice certain chips ready much sooner than others, take them out.

Tips:
- Use raw cashews: Soaking cashews overnight or for at least 4 hours softens them and makes them easier to blend into a smooth and creamy "cheese" sauce.
- Choose the right kale: Curly kale works best for this recipe, as it has a sturdy texture that can hold up to the baking process. If you use a more tender variety of kale, such as baby kale or lacinato kale, it may become too crispy or even burn during baking.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure to spread the kale chips out in a single layer on the baking sheet. This will help them bake evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Watch the baking time: Kale chips can burn easily, so it's important to keep an eye on them while they're baking. Start checking them after 10 minutes, and remove them from the oven as soon as they're crispy and golden brown.
- Season to taste: Once the kale chips are out of the oven, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
