Southwestern Cool Ranch Kale Chips
- 1 bunch curly leafed kale, rib/stem removed, leaves torn into pieces
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar or agave
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup minced fresh or 2 Tbs.dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse or sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder or ground ancho chili powder
- 1 cup raw cashews
- Soak cashews in hot water to cover for two hours. Drain. Put into food processor with everything except kale. Process till smooth (you may need to add a few Tbs. water). Add to kale in large bowl, mixing with your fingers to coat the leaves.
- Place on dehydrator trays ( I use a Nesco dehydrator and use perforated tray liners as well). Dehydrate at 115 for 8-12 hours (it's impossible to give a precise time -- you need to check as you go. It could take more or less time. You can also use a higher temperature if you choose and adjust time accordingly.) Do not store till completely dry and chip-like and cool.
