    What Makes These Dehydrated Kale Chips So Good?

    • First off, they are so crunchy, salty and full of flavor! 
    • The bonus is that these paleo chips are super healthy!

    Dehydrated Kale Chips Ingredients: 

    • Kale-Any kind of kale will work! The stems add a nice crunch, however, if you prefer yours without the stems you can leave it out. The kale should be chopped into chip size pieces. Keep in mind that the kale will shrink as it cooks, therefore do not cut it up too small!
    • Avocado oil-Or ghee. Ghee will give these chips that buttery taste, however if you are vegan, vegan butter or avocado oil will work. 
    • Sea salt & garlic powder-To taste. 
    • Nutritional yeast-To give these chips that “cheese” like flavor.

    Optional Add Ins:

    • Cayenne pepper-If you like spice.
    • Vinegar-If you are a big fan of salt and vinegar chips!

    Dehydrating Kale 101:

    • First, again be sure to cut the kale into big enough pieces! Dehydrating the kale will shrink it. 
    • Secondly, it is important to be sure that the kale is spread out and not overlapping by much so it bakes evenly.

    How To Make:

    • First, place all ingredients in a bowl and mix. This will marinate the kale.
    • Next, separate the kale on the dehydrator trays ensuring that they do not overlap too much. 
    • Now, place in the dehydrator at 145 degrees F for 1 hour, then 115 degrees F for 3.5 hours.

    What Kind Of Dehydrator Do You Have?

    • I have this one! It serves so many more functions than just the air fryer! I had to buy the extra racks HERE to place inside of it so I could dehydrate more at once but it works so well.

    What If I Do Not Have A Dehydrator? 

    No worries! You can make these homemade kale chips one of two ways.

    How to dehydrate kale in the oven:

    • Follow all instructions up to placing the chips in the dehydrator. Preheat the oven to 350, then lay out the kale in a single layer on a baking sheet. Cook the kale for 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

    How to make kale chips in the air fryer:

    • Follow all instructions up to placing the chips in the dehydrator. Add the kale to the air fryer and air fry for 10 minutes or until your desired level of crispy. I have this air fryer HERE.

    How Should I Store Homemade Kale Chips?

    • I suggest storing the chips in a paper bag that sits at room temperature.

      Looks great! Would it be possible to replace the nutritional yeast with something else. I’m battling candida overgrowth and so I have to avoid the yeast. Thanks so much, your recipes look amazing and I’m so excited to try many of them.
