Raw Cheesy Kale Chips

I adore kale and love the these RAW kale chips with cashew "cheese".  I have adapted the recipe from one of Green Smoothie Girl. It is the perfect healthy snack in my opinion...GREEN, crisp and salty! 

Raw Cheesy Kale Chips

2 bunches kale 

1/3 cup raw cashews

1/4 cup EVOO

1/4 cup nutritional yeast

2 T fresh lemon juice

3 T water

2 green onions

2 garlic cloves

1/2 t Himalayan salt

1/2 t chili powder

1/2 t sweet paprika

1/4 t turmeric

1/4 t black pepper

Wash and dry kale leaves and tear into small pieces. Mix all other ingredients in a Vitamix and blend until smooth.  I "painted" the mixture onto the kale with a pastry brush.  I prefer a little less "cheese" and more kale on the chips! But you can add however much you like! Place kale in a food dehydrator set at or below 115 degrees and dehydrate for 4-6 hours or until crispy.

 

Before and after the kale has been dehydrated!
