Dehydrator Kale Chips
Dehydrator Kale Chips
Equipment
- Dehydrator
- Salad Spinner
Ingredients
- 8-10 cups Kale
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (We like to grind Himalayan salt on it.)
Instructions
- Wash all your kale to get the dirt and bugs off, then use a salad spinner to get as much water off as you can.
- Rip leafy pieces of kale off the stem, into chip size pieces. Place in a dry bowl.
- Coat the kale with the olive oil. Rub in the oil with your hands so every piece gets coated and shiny.
- Sprinkle salt onto oil coated kale chips and toss it around with your hands.
- Place kale chips on dehydrator sheets leaving a decent spacing so the chips dry faster. The more airflow the better.
- Turn your dehydrator to 125° F (Vegetable Setting) for 3 hours. This helps to speed up the drying time and get your chips up to the living food temperature quicker.
- After the 3 hours turn the temp down to 105° F (Living Foods) and continue to cook for 8-9 hours. This final cooking time will depend on your regions humidity level. In the summer it's dry here so we don't have to dry for as long but in to winter it's really wet and it takes a few extra hours to get to the crispiness of our liking.
- Enjoy!!
Baking Process
Here’s some pictures of the process of baking and what you should expect texture wise.
Our Dehydrator
This is by far the best dehydrator on the market, in our option. We did a lot of research and we kept coming back to this one. We bought it about 4 years ago now and still adore it. We make good use out of it with all the garden vegetables and herbs we grow, plus my husband loves jerky and it has been great for big batches of that. We’ve never had a problem with it and it keeps the temperature even throughout which is really important when dehydrating raw foods. Raw foods if not at a steady drying temp can grow bacteria so this dehydrator gives us piece of mind. If you’d like to buy the one we have I attached our amazon link to the product.
