How do I ensure my kale chips get crispy?

To achieve crispy kale chips, ensure the kale is thoroughly tossed with olive oil and spices, spread in a single layer on parchment paper, and baked at 300 degreesF for 25-30 minutes until dry.

What ingredients give these kale chips their autumn-style flavor?

The autumn-style flavor in these kale chips comes from the combination of chile, garlic powder, and pepitas, which are tossed with the kale before baking.

Can I make these kale chips without nutritional yeast?

While nutritional yeast adds a distinct cheesy and savory depth to these chips, you can omit it if preferred, though the flavor profile will be slightly different.

What is the best way to store leftover Autumn-Style Kale Chips?

Store any leftover Autumn-Style Kale Chips in an airtight container at room temperature to help maintain their crispness, though they are best enjoyed fresh.

What kind of kale is recommended for this recipe?

The recipe calls for one bunch of kale, de-stemmed and chopped or torn into roughly 1 1/2 inch pieces. Curly kale works well, but any variety suitable for chipping will do.
