Ingredients

3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1/4 ounce dried mushrooms, such as cremini
1/4 teaspoon finely grated zest from 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon crushed dried thyme
1 recipe Extra-Crunchy Potato Chips (see note)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

In an electric spice grinder or high-power blender, combine nutritional yeast, dried mushrooms, lemon zest, garlic powder, and thyme and blend until a fine powder forms.
While chips are still hot and fresh from the oil, and working in batches if necessary, set in a large paper-towel-lined bowl and sprinkle nutritional yeast mixture all over. Season with salt and pepper. Using clean hands, toss to coat chips evenly, then transfer to a serving bowl. Cooled chips can be stored in a zipper-lock bag or airtight container for up to 2 days.
