Have you ever made CHEEZY KALE CHIPS!? They’re super simple and one of my favorite snacks of all time! Full of crunchy, umami goodness and fiber for days — these will satisfy you from your tastebuds to your tum.
Plus, have you ever bought kale chips premade? They’re so pricy! But listen! With my recipe below you can have them at a fraction of the cost and I’d argue that mine taste way better!
Easy to make — just grab a blender, a dehydrator/your oven, and a hefty handful of ingredients!
You’ll start by making a thick cashew cream (you already know I love me some cashew cream). This version has some nutritional yeast and my diy curry powder (or storebought!) added which gives it some extra flavor and zing. Then covering your kale with that creamy goodness. It’s a little messy if you use your hands, but that’s part of the fun, and the result is well worth it! From there, dehydrate or bake the kale until it’s completely crisp — you’re officially ready for munching!

Cheezy Kale Chips
Ingredients
- 1 large bunch of curly kale
- 1 cup raw cashews, soaked overnight and drained
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- ⅓ to ½ cup water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the kale. Remove the leaves from the stems and break the leaves into 2-3 inch sized pieces. Discard the stems (or freeze for future stock use).
- In a high-speed blender, blend the cashews, nutritional yeast, curry powder, apple cider vinegar, water and salt. Start with the lesser amount of water and add more until a thick and smooth (but not watery) consistency is acheived. The amount of water may vary depending on how well soaked the cashews are.
- Pour the cashew cream over the kale and thoroughly coat everything.
- Place the cashew cream coated kale on a lined dehydrator (or parchment lined baking sheet).
- Dehydrate for 6 to 8 hours (or bake at 200°F for about an hour), until the kale is super crispy and not pliable.
- Let cool and enjoy that crunch! Store in an airtight container for a few days, or with a moisture absorbing packet to make it last a little longer.
