    Gluten-Free Vegan Raw Jalapeno Kale Chips

    These Jalapeno Kale Chips are another healthy snack alternative for you using a kale and jalapeno combination.

    All my ideas for kale chips come from combining plain kale chips with one of my homemade dressings.

    Like my Lemon Dill Kale Chips and Habanero Kale Chips, these were created from my Creamy Jalapeno Dressing recipe.

    Making your own homemade snacks are so much healthier than buying highly processed store-bought snacks.

    Here are the ingredients for a popular store-bought jalapeno chip:

    S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) Lay's Extra Crunchy Jalapeno Kettle Cooked Potato Chips Ingredients:  Potatoes, Sunflower Oil, Maltodextrin, Salt, Dextrose, Onion Powder, Yeast Torula, Whey, Spices, Monosodium Glutamate, Garlic Powder, Flavors Natural and Artificial, Corn Starch Modified, Peppers, Jalapenos, Soybean Oil Partially Hydrogenated, Paprika, Extractives

    They contain GMO ingredients such as corn starch, soybean oil, maltodextrin and also contain MSG (monosodium glutamate).

    If you want a crunchy snack with the flavor of jalapenos, these healthy kale chips made with clean ingredients are a perfect substitution and they're raw, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo-friendly and Medical Medium compliant.

    Equipment

    • Vitamix
    • Dehydrator

    Ingredients

    For the kale chips:

    • 8 cups organic kale pieces (de-stemmed)

    For the Creamy Jalapeno Dressing:

    • 1 1/4 cup organic raw cashews
    • 1/3 cup organic macadamia nuts
    • 1 1/4 cup water (filtered/purified) (filtered/purified)
    • 1/2 cup organic fresh cilantro
    • 1/2 cup organic onion
    • 2 organic jalapenos
    • 1 tablespoon organic lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
    • 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    Prepare the kale:

    • De-stem the kale and break into bite-sized pieces.
    • Add the kale pieces to a large mixing bowl and set aside.

    Prepare the Creamy Jalapeno Dressing:

    • Add all ingredients for the dressing to a Vitamix and blend until creamy and smooth.
    • Taste and adjust the seasonings to your preference.

    Assembly:

    • Transfer the dressing to the large mixing bowl and toss it with kale until all pieces are coated and it's evenly distributed.
    • Spread the kale pieces evenly onto mesh trays in the dehydrator and dehydrate at 115 degrees for approximately 4-6 hours, or until the coating is completely dried and the kale is crispy.
    • Store in an air-tight BPA-free container until ready to serve because the chips will get soft if they are exposed to the moisture in the air.

      Everything looks fantastic and I've learnt a lot about some nuts, I had no idea that they have so many benefits. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe and tips.
