How to Make Raw Vegan Kale Chips

  1. Remove kale leaves from the stalks, wash thoroughly, and place in a colander to drain.
  2. Leave a small amount of water on the kale leaves.
  3. Transfer the kale to a large bowl.
  4. In a food processor, combine 1 cup raw cashews, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until completely smooth and creamy, like hummus. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  5. Using your hands (or kitchen gloves), gently massage small handfuls of the cashew cheese into the kale until evenly coated. Ensure no large clumps of cheese remain.
  6. Once all the cashew cheese is incorporated, toss the kale with 1 teaspoon granulated garlic.
  7. Arrange the kale evenly on dehydrator sheets and dehydrate for approximately 8 hours, or until crispy.
  8. **Alternative Oven Method:** If you don't have a dehydrator, spread the kale in a single layer on baking sheets. Bake in the oven at the lowest setting (around 170°F/77°C) for 10-12 hours, or until crisp. Check frequently and rotate baking sheets for even drying.
