Ingredients
1 bunch of kale (washed, stems removed, torn into small pieces)
COATING
1 cup cashews (soaked 2 hours)
1 red bell pepper (seeded, chopped)
Juice of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons agave (optional)
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
Recipe Directions
1. Put coating ingredients in a Vitamix. Blend until smooth.
2. Using your hands, massage coating onto kale pieces getting it inside of curls.
3. Put on Teflex sheets (don't worry about flattening them, they're better bunched up) and dehydrate at 105 Fahrenheit overnight or until coating is dry. Slide onto mesh screens and dehydrate 12 hours, or until very crispy.

If you've been lucky enough to try Blessing's cheesy kale chips, you know they are amazing! This recipe makes identical chips.
Mine just took about another 4 hours after overnight and flipping. Yum!
They are so fantastic that I wanted to make sure everyone knew about them.

I'm new to the raw diet, and these are a real staple for me. They're SO satisfying. I use less cashew and add tomatoes and more nutritional yeast.
Oh, and when I put them in the dehydrator, I make sure they're folded over and/or stacked about 3-leaves thick. That lets me get two bunches of kale to fit into my dehydrator (for which I obviously need to order more trays), plus I like the thick crunchiness that results :-)

Can you do this in an oven on lowest setting if you don't have a dehydrator? It works for bay leaves for me, but I lose some of the green. Thanks! Love these!

Cheesy Kale Chips
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe. I've been playing around with the ingredients.
My latest is
1/2c cashews
1 red bell pepper
1 stalk celery
5-6 baby carrots
2-3T nutritional yeast
1/2t sea salt
few shakes cayenne pepper
juice of 1 lemon
This tastes like nacho cheese to me... but better. And I was able to cut down the nut level with the extra veggies/yeast. I usually distribute over 1 and 1/2 bunches of curly kale. (I've never used the dino for this so not sure how that would work)
I also don't mess with the teflex sheets. I just bunch them on the dehydrator screens. (I remove a rack in between). I turn the racks 180 degrees after a few hours. They're done about 8-10 hours, or less depending on how you lay them on the screens.
Mmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm. Even my SAD mother (who's favorite opinion of my food is 'gack' lol) LOVES them. now THAT'S saying something. ;)

I would try spinach or chard, or even beet leaves. I used russian kale, we dont have dinsaur kale, I think though it works better on thin leafy greens.

What is the total dehydrating time? Overnight 8 hours, plus 12 hours? 20 hours. Is electricity pricey for the dehydrator to be running for hours?

Took me a long time to get around to making it too, and it is so easy.
Taste identical to what I purchase at Whole Foods...I did not use the agave.

Cheesy Kale Chips
I wouldn't add the agave, they seem to already be naturally sweet! These are dangerously addictive! I just got off a 14 day juice fast, so I gotta be careful! Too tasty!

Cheesy Kale Chips
Those are really good! The best part is that they are REALLY crispy, I guess because kale is naturally quite thin. Also pretty quick to dehydrate.
Thanks!

I don't have a dehydrator so I bought kale chips from therawfoodworld.com they were out of this world. I ate the whole bag in a day. I shared it with two of my non-raw co-workers and they asked me to order them some.

Looking for a cheaper version? Try it with a mix of sunflower seeds and cashews or just sunflower seeds.
Last time I forgot to add the nutritional yeast, still tasted great.
Don't know about cabbage. If you try it do tell how it turns out.

I think the coating would be good on anything, in fact it's great not dehydrated and on raw flax/corn chips as nachos :) or as a veggie dip. But maybe for chips greens, like mustard greens because they're curly and the coating would get stuck in there. Can you dehydrate broccoli? Cheese and broccoli's always a good combo.
