Perfect Kale Chips

These kale chips are so easy to make it's almost crazy. And it's so nice making them yourself, as it's more intimate and you don't eat them super fast because you made them which makes them more special. Also they're better for you than the kind in a box or bag because they're fresh! :)

All you need is about 3/4 cup of sunflower seeds, whatever spices you want, some onion, garlic, lemon juice, and red bell pepper. I also used some coconut aminos, which is soy free seasoning sauce.
First blend the sunflower seeds in a small food processor until they become a creamy nut butter. Then add spices, lemon juice, aminos, and enough water that it becomes runny like a creamy dressing. Then add onion, crushed garlic, red bell pepper, sea salt, and anything else you want and blend it all together in a blender until everything is one.
Then put it into a big bowl and add pieces of kale, mixing it and covering every piece very well. Let it all marinate for as long as you want. I think I kept them in for around 20 minutes, but I'm not sure. Then when you feel like it, arrange the pieces on a non-stick sheet in a dehydrator and dry until crispy and fluffy. We dried ours overnight. And they were amazing. Haha :)

  1. Confession time....during a break while 'working' so hard I logged onto your blog, got a glimpse of these babies and my mouth literally dropped open. I almost bought cheddar kale chips the other day but could not do it because it had rennet. Another kind, a hemp kale chip looked ok, but not being familiar with the ingredient trademark Engevita, I decided to wait until investigated. So this is magnificent, to post not only this amazing treat, but also how to make them; thank you very much!!! (Being picky is a must in North America - as you and your sister are fully aware). On the cruise last year my parents - who are not on this year - were laughing because artificial sweeteners were taken off all the tables). <3 <3 <3
