I’ve never met a kale chip I didn’t like, but there are certainly some recipes that win over my heart more than others. This is one of them.
Purpose
The purpose of this kale chip recipe is to combine the tangy flavour of limes to the heat of cayenne, along with a bit of pink sea salt, to bring out a burst of flavour in each chip.
Kale is an incredibly healing plant food, and switching from potato chips to these will not only satisfy your tastebuds, but also your need for crunch and nutrients.
Equipment Required
- Large mixing bowl
- Food dehydrator (an oven on lowest setting will work in pinch)
Ingredients
- I medium to large bunch of kale
- I medium to large lime
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup olive oil
- Pink sea salt
- Cayenne pepper
- Optional: Nutritional yeast
