In response to the popular and enthusiastic push for making kale chips whenever possible, I came up with a tastier and more versatile option!
Raw Dilly Kale Crisps !
Kale crisps are thicker, more nutritious and fun to make and eat!
You can alter this recipe to suit your flavor needs. Instead of dill and sea salt you can use a dash of Tabasco or basil and oregano or even pesto! The flavor posibilities are endless!
Here's what you need:
¾ Cup filtered water
½ cup chia seeds
2-3 cups fresh kale leaves
Fresh dill
Sea salt
Parchment paper cut to fit your dehydrator trays or fine
meshed dehydrator screen
Blender or food processor
Dehydrator
Large flat wooden spoon
Combine water and kale leaves in a blender or food
processor. Blend until smooth and soupy. Add more water if needed.
Add chia seeds and blend immediately, scraping down the
sides of the blender as needed.
Add fresh dill and a small amount of salt and blend until
smooth.
Spread slurry ¼ inch thick onto parchment paper or
dehydrator mesh using the back of a wooden spoon
Set dehydrator to 115* and run 10-12 hours.
Turn over and peel away parchment paper and continue
dehydrating for another 1-3 hours or until crisp.
Store chips in a paper bag in a cool dry place like a
pantry.
Enjoy with dip or salsa!
