Homemade Kale Chips!

My basic Kale chip recipe:

2 bunches kale (your choice, curly or dino)

Marinade:

1/4 cup tamari

1/4 cup oil packed sun dried tomatoes, undrained

3 Tablespoons nutritional yeast

3 cloves garlic, minced

Wash and dry kale. 

Remove stems/ribs (save for smoothies), 

and tear into medium sized pieces.

The pieces will shrink when dehydrating.

Process marinade ingredients in high speed blender

(using my Vitamix again), and process until fairly smooth, 

stopping to scrape down sides as needed.

Massage marinade into kale pieces.

Dehydrate on teflex sheets for 2 hours at 115 degrees.

Turn and dehydrate on mesh screens until crisp, about 8 hours.

Can also be baked in 200 degree oven until crisp. 

Unsure about the oven timing since I have yet to try it;

watch carefully to prevent burned chips.

Alternative quickie marinade -

use your favorite vegan bar-b-q sauce.
