A delicious snack that got rave reviews, and from omnivores even! Simple to make if you have the right tools (dehydrator or oven), and spices; not to mention, much healthier than potato chips.
Ingredients:
1 Bunch of Kale, stems removed & torn into “chip size” pieces
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
2 tsp. Agave Nectar or Maple Syrup
1 tsp. Water
1 1/2 tsp. Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp. Onion Powder
1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Smoked Paprika
1/8 tsp. Cayenne Pepper
1/4 tsp. Bragg Liquid Aminos, or Soy Sauce (not raw)
3/4 tsp. Sea Salt
Directions:
Mix all ingredients, except for Kale, in a small bowl until combined. Pour over kale and massage into the leaves for roughly two minutes. Spread out pieces over a 3 dehydrator trays so that they do not overlap. Set dehydrator to 105F and leave on for 4 hours. Check on them at the end to see if they need a longer time, whenever I do this I seem to eat half of the batch before they’re fully done. 😉

[...] 1. BBQ Kale Chips I buy a bag of kale chips at my local farmer’s market every Friday morning, and they are usually gone by that afternoon. They are the perfect substitute for potato chips and are packed with nutritional value, so I don’t have to feel guilty eating them. I’ve started making them myself because a bunch of kale costs around $2, which is a whole lot more economical than buying a $6 bag of ready-made kale chips. If you don’t have a dehydrator and your oven doesn’t go as low as 105F, just use the lowest temperature you can and check them often. I’ve seen recipes call for them to be baked at 350F for 15 minutes, so you won’t ruin them with a higher temperature, but you’ll get the most nutritional value and most crunch by using the lowest temperature you can.
