Kale Chips

These are best when made in a dehydrator, but you can make them in the oven.  The are a delicious, healthful snack anytime of year.  

Kale Chips
Ingredients:

1 cup cashews (soaked for a few hours)
1 Medium Red Pepper
Juice of half a lemon (or 2 tablespoons)
1/4 cup of nutritional yeast  or more if you’re a fan
1 tablespoon Salt (or to taste)

Wash the kale & remove tough stalks, de-seed the red pepper, drain off your soaked cashews,

Put all the Ingredients into your food processor and blend everything together until you have a smooth, cheese like substance.

Apply the coating to the kale.  I use my hands to mix it all together and make sure every leaf is well coated.  It's messy but it works.

Bake In a 300F Oven for 20 Minutes, Flipping, and Then Baking Another 10 Minutes or so.    

(You can also bake in a 200F oven with the door ajar.  It will take longer but the results will be closer to that of a dehydrator.).  This is the method I use.

Or dehydrate them.  In any case, you want to keep a close eye because burnt kale smells nasty!  Bake them to your desired crispyness and then let cool.  Once cooled I put them in a large ziplock and they keep about 1 week.
