Kale Chips with Spicy Peanut Sauce

These Kale Chips with Spicy Peanut Sauce are a nice change of pace from regular kale chips.

I like to make kale chips using different homemade dressings that I would normally use to make a salad with.

For example, some other kale chip recipes I’ve made using homemade dressings are Habanero Kale Chips, Lemon Dill Kale Chips and Sour Cream and Onion Kale Chips.

When you dehydrate the kale and dressing together, it’s like having a healthy salad on-the-go.

Just put them in an air-tight container and they’re a perfect nutrient-dense lunch or snack for work, a road trip or even while traveling!

They’re coated in my Spicy Peanut Sauce and are full of intense flavor.

And, they’re “almost” raw (peanut butter), vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and contain no refined sugar.

Ingredients

• 8 cups organic kale (de-stemmed)

For the sauce

• 1/2 cup organic peanut butter
• 1/2 cup water (purified / filtered)
• 3 tablespoons organic raw coconut crystals (or your favorite granular sweetener)
• 2 cloves organic garlic (freshly crushed)
• 1 organic jalapeno
• 1 tablespoon organic extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon organic cilantro
• 1 teaspoon organic red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the kale: De-stem the kale and break it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside. Add all the ingredients for the sauce to a Vitamix, or other blender, and blend until it's smooth. Adjust seasonings to your preference. Add the kale pieces to a large bowl, pour the sauce on top and toss it together until all pieces are evenly coated with the sauce. Spread the kale onto mesh dehydrator trays (mine filled two Excalibur trays) and dehydrate at 115 degrees for 8 - 12 hours, or until they are completely dry and crispy. Store them in an air-tight container because they will become soft if they are exposed to moisture in the air. Enjoy!

Note

This recipe will make approximately 2 - 4 servings.
