| Please share how you made this. We have been buying & eating alot of kale. And we love nachos! |
|
| Oh yum. |
|
| I like to massage my kale with olive oil, nutritional yeast and salt and bake it at 400 for 6-8 minutes, being careful not to burn it (happens easily, so if it's not quite done I check every 30 seconds.) The nooch gives it a healthy cheesiness. The trick is to have everything chopped and ready to go so that your kale stays warm. I like to heat the beans in the microwave, too. |

| That looks so good. I'm going to vegan-ize the chipotle sauce! |

| Nice blog :) Thank you!! I need to read more about the nutritional yeast. What else do you do with it? Is is really a substitute for Parmesan cheese? |
|
| Chi, I would love to hear how you do that. I haven't had much luck veganizing my recipes, otherwise they all would be. Mago, nutritional yeast does have a cheesey flavor that's similar to parmesan. I'm not usually big on it because I love fresh parmesan above all else, but it works so well on kale chips and is healthier, too. |
|
| Jenny, I think it would be a pretty easy conversion. Just sub Vegenaise for the mayo/sour cream, and use an unsweetened non-dairy milk. I'll probably use rice milk. Everything else would stay the same. Maybe a tad more lemon juice to offset the missing sour cream. You should try it since you know what the original tastes like. :) They have a vegan sour cream but I don't think it tastes good and it has some funky ingredients. Vegenaise is good! I like nutritional yeast in vegan queso. It also helps with B12. |

| How do you keep the chips from breaking under the weight of the toppings? My kale chips are always fragile. |
|
| bbstx, they do break. This was a fork and knife meal for me. But I'm used to eating them with a fork anyways, as I usually eat them with chunky salsa. |
|
| Chi, thank you for answering. I have heard good things about Vegenaise, will have to try. |
