Ingredients
  • 1 bunch of kale
  • 1⅓ cup raw cashews, soaked overnight in water and drained
  • ⅓ cup savoury yeast flakes (nutritional yeast)
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup spring or filtered water
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • ½ tsp fine Celtic sea salt
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
  1. Carefully remove stems and center ribs of kale leaves with a sharp knife, then coarsely chop until you have 4-5 cups of loosely packed leaves. Wash and thoroughly dry kale, place into a large mixing bowl and put aside.
  2. To the bowl of a high powered blender or food processor, add all remaining ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy with the consistency of a thick sauce.
  3. Pour sauce over kale and gently toss and then massage into the leaves to tenderise and ensure adequate coating of all leaves.
  4. Dehydrator: Line dehydrator trays with baking paper or tray liner sheets and lay out kale in a single layer with plenty of space between leaves for air circulation. Dehydrate at 50C/130F for 10-12 hours, or completely dry and crispy. Oven: Line baking trays with baking paper and lay out kale in a single layer with plenty of space between leaves for air circulation. Bake at 135C/265F for 20-25min or until the edges are browned.
