Paprika & Nutritional Yeast Roasted Kale
Kayla Castle • November 12, 2021
Roasted kale is by far my favorite way to eat kale. Raw kale just is not my thing! With a spicy and cheesy flavor. Surprisingly, nutritional yeast is a complete protein, meaning it contains all 9 essential amino acids. It also is an excellent source of B vitamins including B12 and trace minerals selenium, manganese & zinc!
Recipe
Ingredients:
1 bunch of organic kale, rough stems discarded and cut into smaller pieces
1 tablespoon avocado oil
1-2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Sprinkle of salt
Method:
1.) Line a baking pan with parchment paper for easy clean-up. Preheat oven to 420F.
2.) Add washed and prepped kale to baking pan. Drizzle avocado oil over kale. Massage oil into the kale, I find this easiest to do with my hands.
3.) Sprinkle the nutritional yeast, smoked paprika and salt over kale.
4.) Roast for 20-25 minutes, checking after 20 minutes. Enjoy!
Do you find looking at nutrition labels to be confusing and overwhelming? There is a lot of information there, with lots of numbers that add to the confusion. Let’s break down the top things to look out for on a nutrition label:
You know when you eat something sweet and then later in the day you start feeling sluggish and tired? That sugar crash feeling is from a sharp rise in blood sugar levels followed by a decline. Having consistent blood sugar levels provides us with a consistent energy boost. By structuring our meals in a balanced pattern, you will be less likely to experience a “sugar crash”.
