    Gluten-Free Vegan Raw Sour Cream and Onion Kale Chips

    If you are looking for a variety from the basic kale chip recipe, these Gluten-Free Vegan Raw Sour Cream and Onion Kale Chips are a nice alternative.

    I think one of my most favorite snacks has to be homemade kale chips made in my dehydrator.

    The very first ones I made were Cheezy Raw Kale Chips and these are now running a close race for first place.

    This recipe kind of happened by accident though.

    They are actually a combination of my favorite raw dressing that I combine with plain kale to make a salad - which I literally eat every day and usually add some chia seeds, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds or sesame seeds on top.

    Then one day I thought...this would be really good as a kale chip!

    So I've taken my favorite salad...kale and Raw Creamy Jalapeno Dressing (minus the jalapeno and cilantro) and made it in the form of a chip!

    They are so easy to make and the hardest part is just waiting for them to be finished!

    But if you are ever tempted to eat GMO traditional chips, just remember the ingredients found in a bag of Lay's Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips:

    S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) Lay's Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips Ingredients: Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Sunflower, Corn and/or Canola Oil), Sour Cream and Onion Seasoning (Skim Milk, Salt, Sour Cream [Cultured Cream and Skim Milk], Onion Powder, Whey, Whey Protein Concentrate, Canola Oil, Natural Flavor, Parsley, Gum Arabic, Maltodextrin [Made From Corn], Sunflower Oil, Citric Acid and Buttermilk).

    Looking at the ingredient list, you can see that this is a highly processed "food" that contains GMO ingredients like corn, canola oil, dairy, and maltodextrin and they aren't vegan due to the dairy.

    When you make homemade chips with organic ingredients, your recipe will be raw, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free.

      Hi Karielyn,

      Thanks for sharing this recipe. I've been trying to find a good recipe for sour cream and onion kale chips, as am already bored with the cheezy kind. LOL just a quick question, can I use all cashew nuts instead of mixing it with macadamia. They are a bit expensive here in Indonesia.

        Hi there Lisa! Yes, you can definitely use all cashews and leave the macadamia nuts out completely and it will still be good, I do it all the time. If you type in "kale chips" in my search bar, I have several other flavors you might like too as another option for "cheesy" kale chips.

        Thanks for the question and I hope you enjoy the recipe 🙂

      I have a basic dehydrator, it has round plastic disc trays would the kale work on that or is the mesh essential for the drying process?

        Hi there Bonnie! It should be fine with the trays you have. I specified the mesh trays on the recipe because the Excalibur dehydrator uses two different types of trays...mesh and the Paraflexx sheets so I referred to the mesh because they would have more air movement as opposed to the Paraflexx sheets. But either would actually work.

        Since this recipe has a thicker-type coating on the kale, you may want to flip them over about half-way through to make sure both sides have access to the air movement.

        I hope that helps and you enjoy the recipe if you decide to make it 😉

      I like the vegan sour cream and onion recipe, I'll have try it with a substitution for the cashews (probably I'll use pine nuts instead).

        Hi Mary! I've never tried this but maybe you could just use 100% macadamia nuts instead of the cashew/macadamia combo or even a 1 1/4 cup macadamia + 1/3 cup pine nut combo .

        Let me know how it comes out if you try it 🙂

      These chips look and sound amazing! A welcome change from the popular cheesy kale chips. Now, if only I had a dehydrator...

        Hi Adriana! They are really good...maybe you could try to make them in the oven on the lowest setting? If you do...make sure you let me know 😉
