"Cheezy" Kale Chips
Kale Chips…sound a little weird?? Well, don’t knock it until you try it!! These addicting, savory snacks are seriously better than potato chips!! And what’s even better is that they’re healthy and you’re able to incorporate you’re greens into your diet :) It’s a win/win situation! I found this recipe at The Renegade Health Show. I have tried the recipe both by baking it in the oven and by dehydration method, and I personally prefer them in the dehydrator. Yes the oven method is a heck of a lot quicker method, but it is well worth the wait to prepare them in the dehydrator. And besides, you don’t lose all the important nutrients you receive when making Kale chips in the dehydrator. Another plus is that if you know someone who’s an anti-veggie this is the perfect snack to get them so that palate is not so discriminatory :) Any ingredients listed in parentheses is what I used instead of what the original recipe called for (only because I didn’t have them on hand).

- 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1 lemon lemon
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 scallions
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1/4 cup Cider Vinegar
- 1/4 cup Tamari
- 2 head Kale
- 3/4 cup Tahini
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
Instructions
Step 1
Wash kale. Remove stems and tear kale leaves into pieces (don't tear too small, as they shrink in size when cooked). Place kale in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Combine the rest of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth to get a thick consistency. You may have to add more water. Pour the mixture over the kale and mix thoroughly with your hands to coat the kale, ensuring it is well-adhered.
Step 3
For dehydrator method: Place kale onto a Teflex sheet, on top of a mesh dehydrator screen. Use two trays and dehydrate for 6 hours at 115 degrees. Rotate kale occasionally to dry uniformly. For oven method (alternative): Place kale on cookie sheets lined with foil. Bake at the lowest oven setting for 2 hours, or at 375 degrees for 15 minutes (note: longer, lower temperature retains more nutrients).
