Why You'll Keep Making This

These chips are a healthy and delicious snack that feels indulgent but is good for you. They are crispy, flavorful, and packed with nutrients. Plus, the raw cashew cheese adds a creamy, tangy twist without any dairy.

Simple Cooking Tips

- Make sure the kale leaves are completely dry before baking to get them extra crispy.
- Use a low temperature and bake slowly to avoid burning and keep the chips crunchy.
- Pulse the cashews finely for a smooth cheese flavor without large chunks.

Step 1

Soak the cashews in a bowl of water for at least an hour, then drain and rinse them well. Toss the cashews into a blender and pulse until they’re finely chopped, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Add the red bell pepper, onion, lemon juice, jalapeno, and garlic, and blend again until everything is nicely combined. Next, pour in about 3/4 cup of water along with the nutritional yeast, paprika, turmeric, mustard, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, adding a little more water if it’s too thick.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the cashew cheese with the kale, using your hands to scrunch and massage the leaves so they’re evenly coated. Spread the kale out in a single layer on your dehydrator tray—no need to line it. Let the kale chips dry at a low temperature, around 105°F (41°C), for about 8 hours or until they’re crispy. Enjoy your homemade kale chips!

Serving Ideas To Try

Enjoy these chips as a snack on their own or serve them alongside fresh veggies or a salad. They also make a great crunchy topping for soups and grain bowls, adding texture and a burst of flavor.

Food Storage Tips

Store the chips in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispiness. Avoid refrigerating, as moisture can make them soggy. Eat within a few days for the best taste and crunch.
