Ingredients

1 cup raw cashews
3/4 cup unsweetened soy, hemp or almond milk
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons unfortified nutritional yeast
2 bunches kale, tough stems and center ribs removed
1 large red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions:

Blend the cashews, non-dairy milk, vinegar and nutritional yeast in a high-powered blender. Place in a large bowl, add kale and onion, and toss to combine.

Lay out on a tray and dehydrate at 120 degrees for 8 hours. If you don't have a dehydrator, bake in the oven at 225 degrees F for 50 minutes or until crispy and dry, tossing occasionally to prevent burning.

Note: No time to make your own? Try Dr. Fuhrman's packaged kale chips, available on the Shop page. They come in three flavors, Cashew Cream and Onion, Zesty Pizza and Turmeric Curry.

These are so tasty. I probably could have used 3 bunches of kale with the amount of sauce it made. Super yummy and my 3 year old likes them!

I used hemp seed, which worked great. 

Then I tried something I liked even more. I had a bag of pre-washed, pre-chopped kale from Whole Foods. I filled a small tray with it -- plain, no seasoning-- (about six ounces of kale), and put it in my toaster oven at 225 degrees for 30 minutes. After it came out, I cooled it, then put it in the blender with 8 ounces of soy milk. It made the most delicious toasted kale, savory beverage!  Since I have so  much fruit every day, it was a great way to boost my veg intake!

I used hemp seeds instead of cashews and it's delicious! And as Dr. Furhman said in his ETL podcast, if you need to add more protein and Omega 3s, you can substitute hemp seed for any nut in any recipe. There are 10 grams of protein in just three tablespoons of hemp seed. I get mine at Whole Foods, though Amazon also has it.

I wish I knew what size to cut up the raw kale pieces before drying. After 4 hours in my 225 degree oven, I still had pieces that didn't dry out. Tasted good, though.

I found that I was using too much dressing if it wasn't drying out. Just add more kale next time so it's a thin coat.

I cut mine into about the size of a large potato chip. If yours isn't drying maybe you didn't use enough kale, it sounds like the sauce to kale ratio is too high and the sauce is too thick on the greens

I added a head of roasted garlic to the blender. bsecause for me, everything is better with garlic!  I want to put that dressing on everything. I used the last bit in the blelnder on my lunch salad while waiting 8 hours for the chips. I have a digital convention oven and set it at 120F, covect and I will check every hour to see how that works.  If not, it will be a great veggie main dish.  ;-)

I agree! What a great salad dressing and what a good idea to add garlic.

Hi, could I do this in an air fryer?

Dr. Fuhrman doen't recommend air fryers. They cook at high temperatures which can result in the formation of cancer- promoting acrylamide.

Would walnuts or almonds work in this recipe? I'm allergic to peanuts, cashews, and hazelnuts.

walnuts work as well, they are a softer, creamier nut like cashews.

Almonds should work.
