(5)00 Kales of Summer: Creamy Dill Pickle Kale Chips

By Aine Davis

Whenever I go grocery shopping I can’t help but sneak a peek at the snack aisle and drool for a minute or two. It would be so easy to simply devour a bag of store-bought BBQ potato chips, but I know from experience that the consequences are heinous. Instead, I make a healthier version at home whenever possible!

What you’ll need:

  • Blender
  • Dehydrator (Alternatively, you can use this guide for oven-baked kale chips)

Ingredients:

  • 1 large head of kale
  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup fresh dill, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped 
  • Salt and pepper to taste 

Directions:

  1. Soak cashews in water for 1-4 hours. Drain. 
  2. Rinse kale and dry as thoroughly as possible.  
  3. Devein kale. Not sure what we’re talking about? Use this method. 
  4. Roughly chop kale into bite-size pieces. 
  5. Blend cashews, vinegar, dill, nutritional yeast, garlic, salt and pepper until liquid in consistency. 
  6. Toss kale in dressing, coating as evenly as possible. 
  7. Line dehydrator with wax paper and spread kale pieces out. Be sure to avoid any overlap. 
  8. Dehydrate for roughly 6 hours at 115 degrees, or following your dehydrator’s specifications. The longer you dehydrate for, the crisper your chips will be. 

Makes 2 servings. Extra dressing can be used as a raw veggie dip.
