Kale Chips Raw Food Dehydrated Recipes

KALE CHIPS (RAW FOOD - DEHYDRATED)

Steps:

• Set walnuts on to soak. They foam a bit, so go ahead and rinse them too.
• While the walnuts are soaking, wash and trim kale, removing the woody spines and chopping into fairly large pieces (about half the size of your palm). It is OK to "cheat" and purchase the washed, chopped kale. It just speeds the project along. ;D.
• Load first 7 ingredients (walnuts through pepper) into blender and pulverized into a smooth paste.
• In a large bowl, combine the kale and walnut mixture, massaging the walnut paste into the little curls of the kale.
• Line up the chips on the screen of your dehydrator. Sprinkle with sea salt.
• Dehydrate at 110-115 degrees F for about 5-6 hours. Sampling for doneness allowed, just leave some for the rest of the family!

THE RAWTARIAN

Steps:

• 1. Get one large bunch of dry kale.2. Rip kale into gigantic "chips." Leave the kale quite big because they will shrink when dehydrated so try to leave each piece of kale quite big. Place in bowl.3. Add all remaining ingredients into the bowl on top of the kale.4. Mix all the ingredients together using your hands. Your hands will get coated in oil and spices, but trust me. You have to do it this way--it's the only way to get this raw kale chip flavouring mixture thoroughly mixed and on each leaf. Mix very very thoroughly by massaging the kale with your hands. You want to make sure the spices are quite evenly distributed.5. Place your chips in a single layer on parchment-paper lined dehydrator sheets. You don't have to lie them out perfectly; just make sure you don't have pieces lying on top of one another.6. Dehydrate for 1 hour at 120 degrees. Reduce heat to 105 and dehydrate for a couple more hours. Check on them quite soon, because small pieces will crisp up quickly and you can snack on them right away! Compared to most dehydrator recipes this raw kale chip recipe actually is pretty quick to make, and you can be enjoying them within a few hours. Don't eat them when they're still a bit soggy, they taste gross that way. Wait until they're totally dry and crispy.7. We usually tend to consume these raw kale chips really quickly, but they do keep quite well stored in tupperware or ziploc bags (provided that you've totally dehydrated them so that there's no moisture left in your kale chips - Ie. dehydrate them for 24 hours or longer!). So eat up! :)
