Grandma’s Kale Chips
How many of you know an 81-year old woman that makes homemade kale chips?! I don’t know of any, except my Grandma!
She is an amazing wellness warrior in my book. She is all about prevention, proactive health care, and being your own healer. My Grandma has had her share of health challenges, but through educating herself and getting the tools she needs, she and my Grandpa still grow their own food, travel, and yes… make their own kale chips!
Here’s the winning recipe. Feel free to make variations with spices you like!
INGREDIENTS
- 6 cups bite size pieces of kale
- 1 cup red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- ½ cup raw cashews
- ½ cup sunflower seeds, hulled
- 2 Tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 Tablespoons raw honey
- 2 Tablespoons Bragg’s Aminos
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
DIRECTIONS
Place red bell pepper in a high-powered blender. Add the remaining ingredients on top (except the kale). Blend, add 1-2 Tablespoons of water (just enough to process into a thick cream). In a large mixing bowl, toss the pepper mixture with kale to coat it evenly. Spread the kale onto dehydrator trays and dry at 104 degrees F for 8 to 10 hours.
