Nacho Kale Chips

Submitted by Serah B.

"These are uber kid-friendly. It's a great way to get extra vitamins (especially B-12 from the nutritional yeast) and protein (cashews, nutritional yeast) into tots. They taste like Doritos. Yum, yum, yum!"

My kale chips turned out amazing. They tasted just like they were store bought. I used a nutribullet which made making the flavoring much easier, just had to add a 1/4 cup of water to keep the blending going. I used my Nesco dehydrator and set it on 135 deg for 4-5 hours. They were a big hit among my family and friends.

Amazing! I was skeptical but these kick butt. I dehydrated at 145° for 2 hours then 115° for 3 hours. Great hit with my man.

These were so good!!! Thanks so much for submitting this recipe. I bought a Nesco Dehydrator last week after eating Kale Chips from the Vitamin Shoppe that were $3.00 for a little container! They were good, but not good! LOL Also, I want to thank socbtrfly9 for her advice, because it cut my drying time in half.

I used soaked almonds instead of cashews and they were great. My husband is even asking me to make them again!
