Kale chips in the dehydrator....
​Making the Chips


Wash kale and spin dry.
Remove the leaves from the stems by sliding your thumb and forefinger up the stem. (Save stems for juicing!)
Mix the ingredients together for your desired flavour (flavours are listed below). Massage the mixture through the kale leaves until they begin to wilt down and are very well-coated.
Place in your dehydrator on a teflex sheet, or simply use parchment paper. Leaves do not need to be single layer, but for best results, do not pile too deep. Dehydrate at a temperature of 105°F until crispy—usually 6 to 8 hours.
Use broccoli florets instead of kale leaves for a delicious, wholesome alternative!
