Raw Kale Chips Recipe

I love food that crunches! Raw Kale Chips are one of the few things that have satisfied my urge to crunch, like that you can get from a chip. What is even more awesome about this wonderful snack is that it is even popping up on restaurant menus. Seeing the food industry switch to healthier options always gives me a warm feeling inside. Kale Chips also come with a pretty penny at the stores too. Well I am here to share with you, how you can make them at a small fraction of the cost.

Raw Kale Chips 101

All you’ll need is the following:

 

-Organic bundle of kale-any kind of kale works, I personally like to use curly.

-2 TBS Coconut Oil-melted

-Nutritional Yeast nutritionalyeastflakes mygotobrand

 

Remove the Kale leaves from the thick stem. Then tear the kale leaves into decent size pieces. A little larger than bite size is ideal, because they will shrink while under the heat.

-Place Oil into a bowl and add Kale. Massage the Oil into the Kale. The oil will go a long way, just keep massaging. Get your hands in there and don’t be afraid to work the oil into the Kale

-On an oiled baking sheet (if using the oven) or on the dehydrator trays (if using dehydrator), spread the Kale into a thin layer, with no leaves on top of on another.

-Sprinkle Nutritional Yeast all over the leaves. Don’t be afraid to put a good layer of yeast on the Kale. The Nutritional Yeast will give the Kale Chips a ‘cheesy’ flavor. -Two options for making kale chips. Oven (technically not raw, but not completely dismissed): one hour at 200 degrees

-Check them periodically and adjust the time until they are crisp…they can burn pretty quickly Dehydrator: dehydrate at 115 degrees for about 8 hours -Putting them in before bed, especially if there is no timer on your dehydrator, makes them perfect to wake up to in the morning.

Pilates Platinum began shortly after I experienced my first workout on a Megaformer, which is the revolutionary version of the Pilates machine, the reformer. Like many of my current clients, I fell in love with the workout and experienced amazing results after just a short amount of time. It was a combined passion for health and fitness with my new found favorite workout that led me to open my first studio in Hollywood in 2006 which eventually expanded to three additional facilities. I absolutely love life, spending as much time as I can with family, dancing, running, trying new fitness crazes, being outdoors, drinking green juice and laughing with my friends. I am a Texas girl residing in West Hollywood, CA! Learn more about Heather and Pilates Platinum by visiting: http://www.pilatesplatinum.com
