Measure the infused ingredient
The infused ingredient here is cannabis olive oil. Keep the amount tied to the strength of the infusion you actually have rather than assuming a universal dose. Use the THC potency calculator for the full batch, then divide by the exact yield below.
Dose deliberately: potency depends on the strength and amount of your infusion. Calculate the complete batch, divide evenly, label infused food clearly and keep it away from children and pets.
GATHER & MEASURE
Ingredients
For the kale chips
Keep the plain and infused olive oils separate while measuring, then whisk them together. Nutritional yeast supplies the savory flakes; lemon zest is the finishing ingredient.
FROM PREP TO FINISH
Make it, step by step
Prep the pans & dry the leaves
Heat the oven to 300°F. Line two large sheet pans with parchment.
Remove the tough kale stems and tear leaves into large pieces. Wash and dry extremely well.
Mix the oils & massage
Whisk the plain and infused olive oils together. Drizzle over the kale and massage with your hands until every leaf has the thinnest possible sheen.
Season & spread across two pans
Sprinkle with nutritional yeast, garlic powder and salt. Toss again and spread in single layers on the pans.
Bake, cool & add lemon zest
Bake 15 to 20 minutes, rotating the pans once, until crisp but still mostly green. Cool 5 minutes, then toss with lemon zest and divide into 4 servings.
Questions about Crispy Cannabis Kale Chips
Why are my kale chips soggy?
The leaves were likely still damp or crowded on the pan.
Can I use bagged chopped kale?
Yes, but remove any thick stem pieces and dry the leaves well.
Can I use Parmesan instead of nutritional yeast?
Yes. Finely grated Parmesan works, though it will brown a little faster.
KEEP COOKING
Keep a savory snack in the rotation.
Try rosemary roasted nuts, bright pesto pasta or smoky pulled jackfruit.
