Cayenne Kale Chips

Yield: Approx 6 cups

  • 2 large bunches curly Kale
  • 1 cup sunflower seeds
  • ⅓ cup hemp nuts
  • ⅛ tsp chayenne powder or to you liking-it’s spicy
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 ¼ filtered water
  • 1 ½ tsp agave syrup
  • ½ tsp sea salt

Method

Wash and pat dry kale leaves, removing center membrane just up to where it thins out, tearing kale leaf into only 2 or 3 large pieces. Place in a very large bowl. Measure remaining ingredients into blender and combine until creamy and smooth. Pour half the mixture over the kale leaves. Using two spoons or your hands, toss kale to coat, adding remaining mixture and ensuring that leaves are coated in folds and curls. Place on teflex sheets on dehydrator trays and dehydrate for 8 hours or until crisp. Alternatively, set oven on lowest setting and leave door cracked open and dry until crispy, approx 3-4 hrs, but do watch it if this is your first attempt. Store in air tight container or ziploc-and then hide them for movie night!
