Wasabi Garlic Kale Chips

Wasabi Garlic Kale Chips

Ingredients

  • 1 Really Big Bunch of Kale
  • ¼ Cup EVOO
  • 1 Teaspoon Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Wasabi Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Water
  • 1 Teaspoon Dehydrated Garlic
  • ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Kelp Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Sea Salt

Directions

  1. Wash kale, and cut each piece cross-wise into 2"-3" chunks.  Place kale in a large bowl.
  2. Mix together vinegar and oil, and pour over kale. Gently massage oil into kale with your hands for a few minutes until leaves are shiny and well coated.  
  3. Mix about 1 Tablespoon of wasabi in with water, pour over kale, and stir a few times. Sprinkle garlic powder, dehydrated garlic, kelp powder, remaining wasabi powder, and sea salt over kale in batches, between stirring around to coat.
  4. Taste a few leaves of kale, and adjust seasonings as necessary.
  5. Place kale on dehydrator trays, and give a final sprinkling of wasabi, garlic, kelp, or salt as desired. Dehydrate at 115°F for about 8-10 hours or until totally crispy.  Remove and store in an air-tight container.
  6. If you don't have a dehydrator, try baking them in the oven! Place them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, until crispy to your liking.
