Almost any vegetable or fruit can be turned into a tasty appetizer or snack using a dehydrator, but these healthful chips are delicious whether you make them in a dehydrator or in the oven. For this oil-free recipe, I combine kale, broccoli, and okra and add a dash of salt and cayenne pepper for flavoring. I like to blanch the vegetables first so that they retain their bright, beautiful colors, but it’s not a critical step. Try using this recipe with sweet potatoes, apples, pears, or green beans. The possibilities are almost endless.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound each okra pods, broccoli florets, and kale leaves.
- 4 cups boiling water.
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda.
- 2 cups cold water plus 2 cups ice for ice bath.
- Salt or salt substitute and cayenne pepper to taste.
