Description
Onion and Garlic Kale Chips Serves: 6 Preparation Time: 35 minutes Ingredients: 1/2 cup raw cashews 1/3 cup water 1 tablespoon onion powder or chopped onions 1 tablespoon garlic powder or chopped garlic 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast 1-2 teaspoons miso or coconut aminos 11/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley 1 bunch kale Instructions: Combine all ingredients except kale in a high-powered blender and process until smooth (see note). Set aside. Wash the kale and then carefully dry the leaves. If the leaves are wet, it will take longer to bake/dry. Strip the leaves into a bowl, roughly tearing any large pieces. Break into "chip-size" pieces. Discard the stems. Pour the creamed mixture on top of the kale. Massage the mixture into the kale for 1 minute to evenly coat the leaves. Oven method: Heat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, then spread the kale chips over the sheets, as evenly and flatly as possible, to ensure even cooking. Do not overlap the kale or those parts will take longer to bake, which will cause uneven cooking. Bake between 11/2 and 2 hours (time varies according to the dryness of the kale), flipping halfway through the baking, until the kale has dried out and is crispy but not burnt. Watch carefully toward the end of the cooking time and remove any crispy chips from the batch as needed. Dehydrator method: Lay out on dehydrator sheets without overlapping as described above. Dehydrate at 105 degrees F for approximately 12 hours or until crispy. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Note: If you have a regular blender, soaking the cashews first will make them easier to blend. Soak in water for 30 minutes, then drain.
