In an earlier blog, I gave you a recipe for raw, spicy kale salad. What I did not tell you is that you can make a simple delicious snack out this raw salad - kale chips!
Once you have made the salad, all you have to do is spread the raw, marinated kale on cookie sheets and place them in a dehydrator or dry them out in the oven on a low setting - say, 170 degrees.
If you use the oven, check the drying kale about every 20 minutes to see how it is doing. You don't want to burn the kale unless you like that smokey burned flavor (some people do!) If it is mostly dried but not all the way, you can turn the oven off and let the chips finish drying in the oven overnight.
When dried, place the chips in a bowl and leave them out. The refrigerator is not necessary. The thing is, they are so good (they strangely taste a little like cheese!) they will disappear in no time flat.
