KALE CHIPS
*16 ounces kale
*1/3 cup nutritional yeast
*Juice from 1 small lemon
*1/2 teaspoon sea salt + more to taste
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (for spicy, optional)
1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Remove the thick stems from the kale and tear into large pieces. If you haven't pre-washed your kale, wash it and dry it thoroughly (this is important).
3. Add the kale leaves to a large bowl and add the rest of the ingredients, using your hands to evenly massage the ingredients into the kale.
4. Spread the kale out on the baking sheets, making sure to not overlap (the kale will get soggy).
5. Bake for 16-20 minutes or until the kale is crunchy and browned in some spots.

PLEASE DONT REMOVE THE AVOCADO STUBS. I manage a produce department and this tip RUINS avocados. It allows air into the flesh and actually causes the browning that you’re looking for. Gentle squeeze is the best way to pick an avocado
I had no clue! Thank you so much for this advice
Thank you! I had no idea!
Ahhh this makes sense! Thank you for telling us!
Yes! This! I always get slightly unripe avocados and look for firm that have stems still attached. Once home I set them aside till softened THEN remove the stem, usually after 1-2 days, and refrigerate for up to 7 days.
Thank you for the tip, I had no idea.
All 10:
Sweet potatoes
Kale
Avocado
Almond butter
Hummus
Lemons
Tahini
Garlic
Beans & lentils
Plant based milk
These are all great choices! Really great variety and definitely enough protein to get you through the day! I use almost all of these on a weekly basis as well!
Thank you
BTW, you should have about a zillion viewers! I hope everyone who wants to transition to deliciously full-flavored vegan meals finds you.
I did!
Yes she should
Is it just me or can anyone else not stop watching cuz her voice is so soothing? ❤️💯
For Me:
1) Sweet potatoes
2) Kale
3) Avocados
4) Almond butter
5) Hummus
6) Lemons
7) Tahini
8) Garlic
9) Beans & lentils
10) Plant-based milk
{Secret Bonus} 11) Dark chocolate
In my country we eat avocados for dessert! The first time I saw and tasted avocados as a savoury food was when I travelled. At home, we blend avocados with sugar and lemon juice, then put the cream in the fridge for a few hours before serving. It's sweet and creamy, with the kick of acidity from the lemon. Truly delicious and addicting. Feel free to try it out!
Same! The concept of savory avocado like guacamole was bizarre to me when I first moved to the US.
Me too, tho I'm from America. My Filipino mom raised us with avocado milkshakes (avo, milk, vanilla ice cream, sugar). I STILL make a version of this for bfast (cold avo, almond milk, a little blue Agave). But when i moved to CA and saw GUACAMOLE for the first time - (avo with onions, garlic and lime!?) it was VERY alien to me. Of course I quickly learned avos are fabulous BOTH ways. 🙂
Do you heat it up to make the sugar melt? I can imagine it will be very "grainy" if u just blend avocado and sugar and put it in the fridge.
We make an avocado 'chocolate mousse' by blending it with cocoa powder (or carob) and maple syrup.
First of all thank you for showing a WELL LOVED sheet pan. I know this is weird but more often UA-camrs show spanking brand new pans. My favorite pans are clean but you can tell. I use them often.
I am an a Type 2 Diabetic so my doctor recommended sweet potatoes. I screen shot your list so I would remember what to buy. I make avocado cookies!!!! As of today a new subbie.
Hi! I’m living with Diabetes too (type 1) hope you’re well. I’m eating plant based and it’s much better for my readings.
Would love your recipe pls?
I love all potatoes but I agree sweet potatoes are something special!
i highly recommend trying japanese sweet potatoes. sooooo amazing! white flesh ans sweet like honey
I love yukon golds and white potatoes
Under any moon, I will find you. So pleasant to know someone like you exists because I am a new vegetarian, and I think Veganism is the last step for a healthy lifestyle. Your fixin sound so delicious....Can't wait to make my own...Thank You and Much Love Nisha...Robert The Bold
Lemon water doesn't get your metabolism started any more than consuming anything (else) does. This trope/myth is repeated everywhere :x
That’s probably true. However...having a routine where you do / drink the same thing every morning does set up your circadian rhythms for the day. So if lemon water is that thing for you, go for it.
Whatever this woman does is clearly working because she is a stunner.
Definitely my favorite vegan food blogger. Not only are recipes amazing you have the sweetest voice and such a pleasant demeanor. Ordering your cool book today. Thank you
Hi Laurie! How sweet are you! I really appreciate your support and thoughtful comment. Thank you for ordering my book as well - I hope you enjoy cooking from it!
Those string bags are great for produce. The mesh construction allows them to expand to carry a lot of produce, but they also don't take up a ton of room. My mom had one that she would regularly take to the grocery store and farmer's markets. It held up really well for years.
Of course sweet potatoes! But I live in Uzbekistan at the moment where they don't have any. There is one variety called Korean Sweet potatoes (hard to find) that taste just like regular potatoes to me. None of that soft orange sweetness at all. So loving your channel!
Nisha you’re the first vegan cooking channel I subbed to and I feel so lucky to have found you!!! You’re an amazing human hehehe you’re so cute , funny , and helpful!!
Your ideas are so clear and useful and creative love them x
When the recipe calls for 1 clove of garlic I use 4:))
Just subscribed!
Hehe I love your ratio, sounds like mine! And thank you!
I came here to say this 🙂
Your videos are so calming and beautiful but also funny! I laughed out loud when I saw your unrealistic grocery bag!
I appreciate that, Jeanie! HA! i love that bag because it's cute but I can't take it anywhere lol.
You're channel and recipes are amazing! Thank you!
You are a wealth of information on vegan food. I'm so excited!!
Wonderful video! I have been eating more plant based meals and just thrilled I found your channel.
Inspirational cook, so positive and effortless
Hi.I just descovered your site and let me tell you I am delighted!!! I play over and over your posts! Simply wonderful! Thank you
I just bought your cook book. You are wonderful thank you for all hard work and information 💜
What a great cookbook! Love it so much 💜
Such good tips! Thank you!
I use two bags like that, I love how much they hold 😋
I had never heard of giving kale a massage to tenderize. What a great tip! I was using baby kale whenever possible
I love this! Very helpful. As someone who tries to reduce food waste, I'm always looking for tips to make sure I've got what I need (and only what I need) in stock in my kitchen.
Your videos are so fun and informative. You can tell you put a lot of effort in. Great job! You gain another subscriber!! I’ve been going through all your videos - I love it
Just bought your book!! Can’t wait to get it!
I am new here ❤️ I have watched several of your videos in the last week. They have all been very helpful!! I’m not vegan, but I have been trying to eat a more plant based diet for the last few weeks. Avocados are a staple in my house!! As for potatoes, I love the white ones and am trying to add more sweet potatoes in my diet. I also love lemon water when plain water gets boring. Thank you for sharing all your staples!!
I'm not vegan nor vegetarian but always tried to as I have digestive issues and intolerance. I did make most of from scratch, many western option is not cheap in Asia but also have many Asian food is cheaper. so far, your videos is more realistic than most of other vegan health idea.
I have made so many vegan recipes over the years. Yours are the best. Every recipe works every time. Thank you! you are amazing! my sister and I love your food. Best of luck in all you do : )
I make healthy smoothies in my vitamix daily but have never thought of putting sweet potato! I will definitely be trying this! 🥰
Love your channel!!
Thank you so much for responding to my bread question. I’m so excited bc I received your cookbook today. Awesome instant pot cookbook. Many blessings.
Aww i an so happy to hear that :) thank you for your support. I hope you enjoy cooking from my book!
I absolutely love your channel! You simplify each complex looking meal. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
That's so nice to hear :) Thank you for sharing!
nisha you're so helpful thank you for making such amazing videos! seriously making my transition to veganism so easy and delish!
Thank you so much! I’ve struggled to become totally vegan/plant based, but I’ve come a long way, and your videos are so inspiring and uplifting that I feel renewed purpose and hope each time I watch! I just wish I had found videos like this and had started my plant based journey many years ago. Please continue this good work! Louise
awesome video and great recipes. will give the sweet potato recipe a try. love your positivity as well. keep up the great work!
Hi Yashwanth! I’m so happy you like my recipes and video :) thank you for the kind comment!
Thanks for great tips and recipes :)
This is so helpful, Thanks. Also, you are very funny.. I appreciate that
Love your vegan tips and recipes..So pretty too! Thanks for sharing!
Very good video!!! Thank you so much for all those good ideas, I will use them you can be sure, I took notes!
Hi Nathalie! Thank you for your support and so happy the video was helpful for you!
Love sweet potatoes, and all 10 of them. New to being a vegan. Over the last 1-2yrs. I've eaten more plant based meals and for the last month and a half I made the leap. I love all the great recipes and the ease if your videos. Thank you.I'm enjoying my new adventure/journey.
Regular. I don’t like sweet potatoes unless in a stew or curry, but I m working on myself to incorporate and eat them more, because they are good for me. God bless
Oh I love sweet potatoes! They're awesome in the oven (I'm definitely going to try some recipes with veggies on top of them, I'd just been using them as a simple side addition) or in stews (lentil stews with sweet potatoes and mushrooms is one of my favourite recipes). I still prefer "normal" potatoes when I want french fries, though.
I like the avocado in that perfect "ripeness" too, but I do like using it when it's a bit on the firm side for salads, like a mix of little square pieces of avocado, black eyed peas, seasoning it with herbs, a bit of salt and lemon juice.
I'd also like to say I've only recently discovered your channel and I'm wowed by it all, the cooking, the editing, the ideas, the recipes, the way you explain everything, your voice being so soothing and friendly...I don't even know what else! I love it! Thank you!
A very new baby vegan and absolutely lovin your videos and such useful info ... Thank uuuuuu🎉
Recently bought an instant pot. That book is THICCCCCC, and all instant pot recipes???? I'm gonna order one.
Hehe yes, my book has 91 Instant Pot recipes :) I hope you'll enjoy cooking from my book! Thank you for your support!
@@RainbowPlantLife wow...! I dont own an instant pot but seeing that there is 91 recipes for them in your book, I wanna buy an instant pot now...
I love that book! And I LOVE the Indian dish with the Garam Masala... I've made it twice so far! So yum!
I love your sense of humor, you always make me laugh! And you have so many good ideas to make weekday meals more interesting! Going to try that chickpea-avocado mash for lunch.
Thank you Victoria, you are too kind! I love that chickpea-avocado mash. Just add some lemon juice (maybe a little zest too for freshness), sea salt and pepper, and you're good to go!
wow...you really do have many delicious ideas!!
i love both sweet potatoes and regular potatoes, just depends on what i'm making :) this video is awesome, Nisha! love the edits and thoughtful content. learned some great tips to help me incorporate these ingredients into recipes I make often!
Great list. I'd add cauliflower. My family loves blackened cauliflower which we use almost as a condiment and "creamy" soups that I make using a cauliflower and roasted garlic with onions and veg stock simmered and puréed as the base ( it has the same mouth feel).
You should publish a recipe book with all these items. I will for sure buy it in a heartbeat 💓.
This video was amazing . It’s helpful for this vegan journey :) I’m very impressed with your channel, content and your journey into this realm. Excited for the things to come for you!!! 🌱🙌🏼🥰
Aww how sweet are you! Thank you for your lovely comment and support. I’m happy this video was helpful for your vegan journey!
I love sweet potatoes too! Thanks for the grocery list. I needed some new ideas to make grocery shopping fun.
You're very welcome :) Hope these ideas will make your next grocery trip fun :)
Love sweet potatoes, especially the Japanese variety. Can’t wait to try them in a smoothie instead of frozen banana, just to change it up. Love your recipes and videos 💞. Thank you!
I just bought your cooking book and this morning I made the tofu scramble for breakfast. I also discovered the Indian Black Salt (which does taste like eggs). Your shopping bag is actually what we have been using in France for years! I have 2 of them and now Longchamp came out with their own version…..
Just ordered your book!😊
All my essentials too! Sweet potatoes are definitely underrated. They're so good on everything! Love all your videos so much Nisha. You make everything fun!
Yay, so happy you love my videos - thank you so much Helen!
Just discovered you....fabulous information. Just got my Instant Pot! Buying your cookbook too!
Hi Hetty! Welcome and thank you for being here and for your support! I hope you’ll enjoy my cookbook :)
Very nice ingredients awesome choices!!
Thank you!
I'd you like avacado toast, you need to try Guacamole toast. It's my new favorite thing. I too the guaca mole with additional diced tomatoes. It's the best snack ever.
I love sweet potatoes. I never thought about putting them in a smoothie 😊 thanks for the inspiration.
You're very welcome :) I hope you'll enjoy your first sweet potato smoothie! I really love them with cacao powder, plant milk, cinnamon, and nut butter!
In my country, we love sweet potatoes more than the regular, I am not a vegan but I do have a vegetarian and vegan day in my week lol. So here I am. I definitely encourage people to eat sweet potatoes more than the regular one because of the rich nutrients they have.
Getting so many inspirations from your channel. Thank you.
Yum looks delicious i am making all soon perfect for my office lunches and snacks drooling over my samsung galaxy j4 love your recipes making me hungry Thanks Ramya
Thank you Ramya! I hope you enjoy some of these meals for your office lunch :)
You are amazing!!!! I love all your video! My respect and love to you! I love all your ingredients 😘🤣...and ideas
Thank you for making my life more healthy and EASY!!!
aww such a sweet comment! I am so grateful to hear that :)
Yummmm! Getting the book :)
Thanks for this. Lots of information here. I will watch a few more times with a note pad. That Greek dish Giros us to pronounced "gear-ross". Thanks again
Thank you for the pronunciation guide hehe. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and hope you'll find some ideas to bring back with you in the kitchen!
I have your book. Thank you so much. Love your channel.❤
Thank you very much for your time and information my son is vegan and loves it but we want to learn how to prepare meals for when he visits and and your videos are are lovely and so much information
Great information!!!!! Thank you so much!!!! ❤️Kathy
Hi Kathy! So happy you found this video informative. Thank you for letting me know :)
I love both regular and sweet potatoes. I love kale too. I love to mix it with other leafy greens to make yummy salads.💕 thanks for the tip on ripening avocados!
You’re very welcome! I love mixing kale with romaine for salads :)
thank you, great videos.
My favourite kale salad is super easy and delicious. Massage the chopped kale pieces with walnut or avocado oil and salt until tender, then add walnuts and Parmesan. I make a huge bowl and it keeps for days. I do like to add lemon juice on top when I go to serve it. I never thought to add sweet potatoes to a smoothie. I do add it to mashed potatoes occasionally and to my homemade dog food. Regular potatoes just have a different texture and are especially good roasted. Ever had Greek lemon potatoes? Yum! Sweet potatoes on their own are just too sweet for me.
Hi. Nice hummus video too
I agree with the garlic part. I always double or triple it. That and cinnamon. 😅
L💚ve it. Your cookbook look promising. 🌈 Greens w/ grains been on my mind. 🙌🏽
Thank you! I hope you'll check out my book and enjoy cooking from it :) I love pairing greens with grains and topping it with plant proteins like lentils or chickpeas or tofu/tempeh, and finishing it with something creamy like hummus or avocado!
@@RainbowPlantLife Goodness 🙌🏽 I'll keep you posted!
I massage my kale with avocado lemon and salt. Instant dressing. Top with chickpeas and sesame seeds. Done. My favorite salad.
That sounds absolutely delicious! Must try soon :)
@@RainbowPlantLife I think the salt and lemon help to soften and break down the kale.
Ahhh yes I TOTALLY needed this I get in a grocery runt and same recipes over and over again. 🙈
I'm so happy this was helpful for you! It's definitely easy to fall into the same routine, so I hope you find some yummy new ideas here :)
Let just tell you I tried sweet potato with almond butter and strawberry jam DELICIOUS!!!!! Eating right now !!! I'm so glad that i found your channel and I just subscribe as well!!!💖💖💖
🌻🥦🌺🌞 Thank you. Your delicious whole foods have made me want to try a month of recipes without meat!
Sweet potato in a smoothie sounds awesome!
Yes, you gotta try it! Makes it creamy and sweet! (I don’t include the skin).
Thanks for the tip! It will be a great way to get my kids to eat sweet potatoes!:)
Omg! I thought I was the only one who
eats that chocolate. I am not vegan but that’s my favorite chocolate and I love your channel.
I love love sweet potatoes and always choose sweet potatoes over regular potatoes!
I love your idea videos 👏 And I share the same pet peeve about garlic lol 😁
So happy you love my videos, thank you! And yes, there should be some app where you can automatically avoid online recipes that call for 1 garlic clove lol
Had no clue how to make kale less hard - thanks!
I enjoy mashed avocado with salt & garlic on toast. Yum! I also love sweet potatoes, but never realized how many ways that you can make them! In a smoothie? Sounds delicious! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Hi Melinda, smashed avocado toast is one of the best simple meals! And yes, hope you try out the sweet potato smoothie idea :)
You are awesome!!
I just found your channel, and may I say,p that, YOU ABSOLUTELY, ROCK!!! Thnku. I have already made three of your Yummy Vegan Creations!!!! 💪🏼❤️👍🏻🤗🙏🏽
Hi there! That’s so lovely to hear :) so happy you love my channel and glad you’re making my recipes!
I always learn something new from your videos (eyeing that almond butter chocolate spread). And I think pesticized should be a word lol 🤣
I’m so happy you do! And yes the chocolate spread is life! I make it all the time!
Omg sweet potato with PB&J 🤯🤯 can’t wait to try!!!!!
So so good! Almost like dessert!
I just ate breakfast and I am already hungry for lunch because everything here looks sooo delicious, especially all the curries!
hehe I hope you have something delicious on the menu for lunch!
oh my....so much to learn. #overwhelmed
That is the best Instant Pot cookbook I have seen. And it’s vegan!
Aww thank you so much!
I love your videos!!!!!!
I appreciate that so much! Thank you Karen!
I agree 100%. Sweet potatoes are much better and I prefer them over white also!!!
i love sweet potatoes too, eat them every week
I love all potatoes. Hummus toast, that is genious.
So easy and versatile! This week I topped mine with roasted winter squash, smashed garlic and tahini and it was SO good!
Love it, love it- I am vegetarian all these years and always wondering how to cut down dairy and eggs from my life and you have it all on your channel. I already got your book and wondering can you make some video of the recipes from the book or new for working family to convert them into slow cooked or freezer meals? Keep the great work as your recipes and smile both are addictive 😀😀
Hi Trish! How sweet are you! I am so thrilled that my recipes are helping you cut down on dairy and eggs. I will definitely try to do a video about freezer friendly instant pot meals! Hope you are enjoying my book :)
I switched from vegetarian to vegan 2 years ago. My advice is do it slowly, over a few months. I tried to do it too quickly (my daughter wanted to learn how to be vegan before she left for college) and I had a very stressful month. Now it seems really easy to me, but just allow yourself to switch one or 2 products per month. This channel is great ❤️
