Raw Zesty Crunchy Kale Chips

Prep Time 25mins

Total Time Up to 6-7 hours

Makes: Usually not enough if I am honest..

10 cups of chips.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup soaked cashews

  • 3 bunches of kale (Dino kale seems to be my favorite, I like the texture but up to you)

  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast

  • 1 tsp of cumin

  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce or tamari (totally optional

  • 5 tablespoons of lemon juice

    Method

    1.) Wash and de-stem kale and then chop into bit size pieces.

    2.) Place chopped and washed kale into a bowl and add lemon juice. Using hands massage kale.

    3.) Next using a blender- blend remaining ingredients: soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, cumin, salt, tamari or soy sauce, salt then add mixture to kale and combine.

    4.) Coat the kale in the cashew mixture careful to coat kale thoroughly. Place kale on a dehydrator trays and spread evenly.

    5.) Finally dehydrate for 5 hours at 135 degrees or for 6-7 hours at 114 (to keep raw) You can check on the kale chips every 3 hours to rotate the trays so they dehydrate evenly.

    6.) You will know they are done when they start to become crispy. Make sure they are all crispy by carefully turning the kale on the tray until no moisture remains on the leaves.
