- 1Β½ tbsp lime juice
- 2Β½ tsp smoked paprika
- β -Β½ cup nutritional yeast ((14.5-22g))
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- ΒΌ tsp pink salt
Method
- Wash the kale leaves in cold water and thoroughly blot them until they are completely dry.
- Remove the ribs from the kale (you can do this by hand or with kitchen scissors).
- Proceed to tear/cut the leaves into small bite sized pieces and place them in a large bowl.
- Place the lime juice in one bowl and the nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic, onion powder and pink salt in another (be sure to mix the dry ingredients).
- Pour the lime juice all over the kale leaves and use your hands to thoroughly coat the leaves.
- Sprinkle and coat the leaves (using your hands) with smoked paprika, nutritional yeast, garlic granules and pink salt mix.
- Preheat the air fryer basket.Pack the leaves in the basket (you will need about 3 layers).
- Air fry the chips for 5-6 minutes at 150C/300F or until they are crispy. Shake the basket half way through and place the rack on top of the kale leaves if you are using a fan forced air fryer to prevent them from flying around.
- Preheat the oven at 300F/150C and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- Wash and blot the kale chips dry and season them accordingly (as per instructions).
- Place the seasoned kale chips on the baking tray (it's okay to pack them on but not too much).
- Bake the chips until they become crispy (it should be ready in 10-18 minutes, turning and shaking them half way through (the chips will wilt as they crisp up).
- Keep an eye on the chips and remove any that become crispy quite early.
- Wash, blot and dry the kale chips dry and season them accordingly (as per instructions).
- Arrange the kale chips on the dehydrator trays, being careful not to overcrowd.
- Set the unit to 55F/130F for 4-6 hours or until the chips are crispy.
