    Homemade Kale Chips

    Dehydrator vitamin K chips!

    Do you often get a bit peckish for something savoury? Looking for a healthy and tasty snack that you can call on to fill the gap? How about some crispy kale chips; AKA vitamin K chips?

    Kale is especially abundant in vitamin K (famous for fighting cancer). This queen green is crazy good for you! As well as being a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals, kale is high in iron, a rich source of antioxidants, an anti-inflammatory and high in fibre! Quite a list - don’t you think? Even better, dehydrated kale leaves, retain all these nutrients just as if you were eating the raw leaves. What more could you want in a chip? 3 flavours perhaps? Well you got it.

    • Salt ‘n’ pepper
    • Moroccan spice
    • Asian twist

    Crispy kale chips are a deliciously different snack for all sorts of occasions. Watch out, the crunch is super satisfying!

    WHICH KALE IS BEST?

    We always recommend organic veggies free from pesticides. We used a bunch of Red kale and Tuscan kale. Both varieties became equally crispy, so we don’t have a preference.

    INGREDIENTS

    1.  SALT 'N PEPPER CRISPY KALE CHIPS
    ½ bunch kale leaves
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1-2 teaspoons sea salt
    finely cracked black pepper to taste (optional)

    2.  MOROCAN SPICE CRISPY KALE CHIPS
    ½ bunch kale leaves
    2 tablespoons olive 
    1 teaspoon sea salt
    ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
    ¼ teaspoon ground chilli powder (optional)
    ¼ teaspoon ground cumin powder
    ¼ teaspoon dried oregano

    3.  ASIAN TWIST CRISPY KALE CHIPS
    ½ bunch kale leaves
    1 tablespoon sesame oil
    1 tablespoon of olive oil (mix oils together)
    ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    1 teaspoon of sea salt
    1 tablespoon sesame seeds (light toasted tastes even better)
    ¼ teaspoon of Chinese five spice

    METHOD

    1.  Cut the stems off the leaves. (Save the stems for another dish, or dehydrate and add to a green smoothie powder blend).
    2.  Wash the leaves and pat dry thoroughly. A salad spinner does the trick very efficiently.
    3.  Prepare your preferred seasoning mix in a small bowl and set aside.
    4.  With your finger-tips, rub the seasoned oil over both sides of each leaf. Making sure the oil reaches all the outer curly tips. Do not drench the leaves, a fine coating is all that is needed.

    5. Lay the leaves on the dehydrator trays in a single layer and not overlapping.
    6.  Dehydrate at 50°C for 8 hours. When the crispy kales chips are done they will have shrunk considerably.
    7.  Kept air tight, crispy kale chips stay fresh (and crispy) for over a week.
