Kale Chips

Ever since I got a dehydrater for Christmas, kale chips have become one of my favorite raw snacks. There so crispy and you can add any of your favorite spices, I like curry the best. They do take a bit of time to dry out though but it's worth the wait!
TO MAKE:
1) Take a head of curly kale, de-stem and rip into bite size pieces.
2) In a large bowl, add some sort of liquid, any oil, bragg's, or lemon will work. You could also use balsamic, red wine or apple cider vinegar also.
3) Add spices like curry, dill, basil, or nutritional yeast.
4) Toss well to coat and layer on dehydrater trays.
5) Set temperature on 115 degrees for no more than an hour and then lower to 105 degrees for the remaining three or four hours or until crispy.

Enjoy, and be careful they go fast so make a lot! My favorite combination is bragg's and lemon with curry powder. But the possibilities are endless, mix and match and find your favorite. If they are completely dry they can be stored in an airtight container and will last a week or so.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
