Only a few spots left on our Digestive Healing Total Health Retreat taking place June 25th – June 27th in Midland, ON! And if you want to get cooking, act fast! Healing with Super Foods on June 13th and Easy Indian on June 15th are the last classes until the fall.
Kale chips are kinda gearing towards the crack of healthy food addicts. Is that terribly un-PC to say? I’m over it. These crispy, crunchy, light and tasty flavour absorbers are just so gosh-darnitt delicious that when I started experimenting with them, well, I just couldn’t stop. You know how that song goes? Right? I believe I must use the stylings of Depeche Mode to truly describe how I feel…
We walk together, we’re walking down the street
And I just can’t get enough, I just can’t get enough
Every time I think of you I know we have to meet
And I just can’t get enough, I just can’t get enough
It’s getting hotter, it’s a burning love
And I just can’t seem to get enough….
See, kale chips are just the perfect food. Anytime, anywhere. On the go or at home. I just can’t get enough. So after days and weeks and many heads of kale later, I present to you the grand finale. Way 5 of Kale Chips 5 Ways. To recap:
- Way One: Lemon and Olive Oil
- Way Two: Asian Spiced
- Way Three: Macro-Japan
- Way Four: Nacho Cheeseless
And now, way five (blow those trumpets, wave those flags!)…
Sour Cream and Onion Free Kale Chips
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 4-5 hours
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1 Head of Kale
- 2 Tbs apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
Place all marinade ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Add water as needed just in order to blend. Remember- you will be drying this out again after so you want to avoid doing this as much as you can.
With your hands, mix together the marinade, massaging gently.
Transfer to dehydrator rack or parchment lined baking sheet
Stick in your dehydrator on medium-high setting or in your oven on its lowest temperature with the oven door left slightly open
In the dehydrator it will take about 4-5 hours for them to reach the perfect crunchiness. Drying times will vary in an oven.

I made some similar ones a few weeks ago http://tinyurl.com/287pjgn and they are really yummy. I love having the cashews in there as it makes them more of a filling snack. Great with a glass of wine
WHAT?!??!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!??!! I WAS SEARCHING HI AND LO FOR AN EASY RECIPE FOR SOUR CREAM KALE CHIPS YESTERDAY BUT WHEN I COULDN’T FIND ONE, SETTLED ON YOUR NACHO CHEEZE ONE!!!!!!!!!! Way to not read my mind, one day in advance! Oh well. Now I get to make another batch.
Anyways, you should try your own recipe, drizzled with some raw honey or agave nectar. It makes it about 7.8 times better. TRUST. TRUST me Meghan.
I have a feeling Way 5 is going to be my favorite.
This looks great! I haven’t had sour cream & onion chips in a really long time. So good, but bad breath. I don’t think I’ll have that problem with these.
How do you keep them? I made them the other week and kept them in a container in the fridge but they weren’t crispy the next day.
It’s summer time and the air is moist. Pop ‘em in the oven or dehydrator for a few and they’ll crisp right back up.

Hi Meghan, my husband bought a bag of kale chips at the Whole Life Expo, and I kept saying “I can make them myself!” So finally I did it today, (although I had to do it in the oven because we don’t have a dehydrator). They are really good! Thank you for the recipe.
WE love kale chips! my kids (4 and 2) eat them up! Can’t wait to try these recipes! I’ve sprinkled parmesan cheese on them too (I know, that’s not dairy free, but its just a little!)
