• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• Water, as needed

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Wash the kale leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel or paper towels. Remove the tough stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
3. In a high-speed blender or food processor, blend the raw cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and paprika until you get a smooth and creamy consistency. Add water as needed to thin the mixture.
4. Transfer the kale leaves to a large bowl and pour the cashew mixture over them. Use your hands to massage the mixture into the leaves, ensuring each piece is well coated.
5. Spread the kale leaves evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are in a single layer and not overlapping.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the kale chips are crisp and slightly golden. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.
7. Remove from the oven and let the kale chips cool for a few minutes before serving. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
8. Enjoy the raw cashew cheesy kale chips as a healthy and flavorful snack!
