On one of Yumi's hikes, the hikers went bananas for Gemma's Cheesy Vegan Kale Chips, based on this recipe.The question was: Would the yumminess translate to home?Good news is: YES!So with a fair bit of pride, Yumi wants to share her version of the recipe, which leans into her love of spice (and allergy to garlic and onion):YUMI'S BEST-EVER CRUNCHY VEGAN "CHEESY" KALE CHIPSPrepare 1 big bunch of good kale, washed, dried and torn off the inedible spine in big piecesIn a food processor or blender, mix:400g cashews, soaked for a couple of hours or overnight100g nutritional yeast2tsp flaked salt100ml macadamia oil1 tsp ground white pepper1 tsp chilli flakes1/2 tsp ground ginger60 ml waterzest and juice of one good, juicy lemonMassage or wipe the cheese mixture onto every kale leaf. This is a long and somewhat tedious process so before you get your hands dirty, have a podcast ready. (Can I recommend 'Ladies, We Need to Talk'?)Spread each leaf out onto your drying racks or oven tray. They dry better if not clumped together and not folded or scrunched.In a dehydrator: on the highest setting for about 10 hours.In the oven: at 120C for around 2 hours, but check. Some spots on the trays will be hotter than others.Store the crispy chips in an airtight container.Any leftover cheesy mix can be stored for 4 days, or frozen until needed. Hosted on Acast.
