Raw kale chips

Raw kale chips are the new snack as they are perfect for that moment when I want something salty and crispy! They don't last long around our house. I had never eaten kale before I tried these and believe me these are so good that you'll fall in love with them, even though they are bright green. My version has raw honey and apple cider vinegar in it, but a basic version of olive oil and salt also tastes great.

1 bunch of kale
Extra virgin olive oil (2-3 tbls)
Raw apple cider vinegar (1 tbls)
Raw honey (1tsp)
Himalaya salt

Wash the bunch of kale and rip off pieces of the leaves into a big mixing bowl. The kale pieces go smaller when they dry so you can leave them kind of big. I usually don't use the stems, only the leaves. Mix in all the ingredients and use you hands to toss around the kale leaves in it all. Have a little taste and see if you want to add anything. Put in dehydrator over night to dry at 40 degrees max because drying things under this temperature retains the nutrients and enzymes. Check in the morning to see if they are crispy and if they are, they are ready to eat. Too easy!

I've heard you can also do these in the oven if you keep it on a low heat. I picked up my dehydrator for 30 dollars during the holidays and it works great for raw kale chips and drying all sorts of other yummy snacks. You can spice these kale chips anyway you want, add as much salt as you like and other spices that you think would be great. I store these kale chips in a glass jar with a lid and if they loose their crunchiness I just pop them back in the dehydrator for a moment.

Munch munch munch!
