My one and only New Year’s resolution this year was to eat more kale, and for good reason. Crammed with fiber, vitamin A, and calcium, kale is such a nutritional powerhouse it should have been Popeye’s snack of choice instead of spinach. But I was having a tough time finding a way to prepare it that I actually enjoyed, until I stumbled on this recipe for raw, vegan, cheesy kale chips that fitness trainer Nathane Jackson of www.nathanejackson.com posted on his Facebook page. With Jackson’s kind permission, I’m reprinting his mega yum, super easy recipe here. Crunch away! And if you’ve got your own winning way to cook up kale, post it in the comments!

My favorite kale recipe might be even easier!
1- wash kale and dry well 2- with your bare hands, massage each leaf with some olive oil 3- lay them out in a single layer on a baking sheet 4- sprinkle with sea salt 5- bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes OMG so delicious!

how are they 'cheesy' when they don't actually have any cheese in them??

Nutritional yeast is often used as a vegan cheese substitute, and I bet nut. yeast blended with cashews is even cheesier.

is there a way to bake them in the oven - don't have a dehydrator...

Hey mshollymt - here's a helpful article about dehydrating without a dehydrator:

My favourite is with soaked sunflowerseeds, spiced with soaked chipotle chili, lemon and tamari mixed with a mixer and then mixed with the kale.
Before I had a dehydrator, I dried in my oven at the lowest temp with the ovendoor open with a chopstick and a pan of cold water at the top trayholder for cooling down.
