Who isn’t addicted to these guilt-free and absurdly healthy little suckers? Instead of spending $10 for a tiny bag you go through in minutes, make your own!
These are the alternatives to chips you’ve been dreaming of your whole life! Packed with nutriton and gluten-free/ dairy-free, these little bastardos are better for you than a romp in holy water. This recipe is so incredibly easy and takes no time to prepare – all good when we want to spend more time doing fun things outdoors – before winter hits us in the tuchus.
Cheesy Kale Chips
- 1 head Locinato kale
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup tahini
- 1/2 red pepper
- 6-8 tablespoons Raw Parma (or nutritional yeast)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Dash of sea salt
- Optional: cayenne pepper, if you like spicy
- Water
Combine all of the ingredients (aside from the kale, of course) into a food processor and run until smooth. Add water very slowly until mixture reaches desired consistency. In a bowl, chopped the kale into 1/4 inch slices and put in a bowl with cheesy mixture. Flatten on a sheet and place in your dehydrator for approximately 12 hours (I did it overnight) until crispy. Depending on how goopy you make your chips, it may take a shorter or longer amount of time. If you do not have a dehydrator do not despair…you can place the chips in your oven at 175 degrees with the door open for a hour or so (checking frequently of course.)
