Steps:

• For the chips: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place a rack in the center of the oven.
• Place the kale on a sheet pan in an even layer. Sprinkle the lemon zest and granulated garlic over the kale. Drizzle the oil over the top and sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Bake until crisp, about 20 minutes.
• For the dipping sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk the sour cream, buttermilk, lemon juice, cumin, paprika and some salt and pepper until combined. Serve with the kale chips.

Steps:

• For the classic: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Place the kale in a 2-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the oil and shake and massage the kale to coat each piece entirely. Season with salt and pepper and shake again.
• Spread the kale in a single layer on 2 large baking sheets. Bake until the leaves become crispy, 22 to 26 minutes. If any leaves remain flexible (as opposed to a crisp crunch), return them to the oven for 2 minutes more. Allow to cool completely before transferring to a serving bowl or storage container.
• For the Italian-style: Follow the directions for the classic kale chips. Immediately after removing the kale from the oven, toss the leaves with the cheese and pine nuts until evenly incorporated throughout.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Remove the ribs from the kale and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Lay on a baking sheet and toss with the olive oil and salt. Bake until crisp, turning the leaves halfway through, about 20 minutes. Serve as finger food.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the kale in a large bowl and dress very lightly with olive oil so the leaves are barely coated. Season with salt. Spread the leaves out across 2 roasting sheet trays so they aren't stacked up on each other too much. Roast in the oven until crispy but still green, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and dress with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a touch of crushed red pepper flakes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk the sesame oil and soy sauce together in a large bowl until the mixture looks creamy. Add the kale and toss to coat.
• Lay about half of the kale out on both baking sheets in a single layer, leaving a little room between leaves. You will need to bake them in batches. Bake in the middle of the oven 6 for 7 minutes, then rotate the sheets and bake until the kale is crispy, another 6 to 7 minutes. Gently transfer it to a platter to cool. Repeat for the remaining kale. Serve once cooled.

Steps:

• In a very big bowl, drizzle olive oil on the kale, then sprinkle on the nutritional yeast and salt. Stir up the kale and coat the leaves with the dressing with your hands.
• Lay out (not overlapping) on baking sheets and bake at 200F until they get crispy. Rotate racks and flip the chips once they start to get a bit crispy. Make sure to keep an eye on them to make sure they don`t burn, and if you notice certain chips ready much sooner than others, take them out in advance. Baking the chips will take about 40-60 minutes - It will be quicker at a higher temperature, but then you run the chance of burning them, and more nutrients are lost during the cooking.
• EXTRA TIPS: The best way to bake these is by using a food dehydrator, where you just lay them on the sheets and wait until they are nice and crispy, and they are raw, meaning that none of the nutrients are lost. This method will take several hours for them to be ready, but the taste will be superior. *****Nutritional yeast is deactivated yeast, it`s not alive, and it 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.
