Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Water, as needed
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Spread the kale leaves evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are in a single layer and not overlapping.
- 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.
- 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.
- Enjoy the raw cashew cheesy kale chips as a healthy and flavorful snack!
