Kale Chips

Cheesy Kale Chips

·        1 bunch kale or about 20 kale leaves

Strip the leaves from the stems and tear into small pieces.  Wash and dry thoroughly.

Put into blender and blend until smooth.

·        1/3 cup raw cashews

·        2 Tbl fresh lemon juice

·        ¼ cup water

·        ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

Add to blender and blend

·        1 clove garlic

·        1 Tbl of fresh chopped sweet onion

·        4 fresh chives

·        ¼ cup organic nutritional yeast

·        ½ tsp sea salt, “real” salt or Himalayan salt

·        ½ tsp chili powder

·        ¼ tsp cayenne

·        ¼ tsp turmeric

Pour sauce over the kale and mix thoroughly.  Massage with hands for a minute.  Place on dehydrator trays.  Dry at 105 degrees overnight or until crispy.

Notes:  Store them in a sealed jar or airtight glass bowl. If left setting out they will absorb the moisture from the air.  You can always re-dehydrate them by putting the bowl or jar in your dehydrator. No need to  put on the trays.  

Also the crumbs at the bottom of the jar make a great topping for your salads or soups
