Kale Chips on Steroids

I've had plain kale chips and they taste ok but these chips are coated with cashew "cheese" and are absolutely umami delicious. First, get some kale. Perhaps from your friend who has some in her garden. Thanks Irene! Then...

Step 1. Wash kale leaves and place them on a kitchen towel to dry.

Step 2. Tear off the leaves from the stalk and place in a bowl.
Oops, I forgot to take a photo but I think you get the picture (pun intended).

Step 3. Put into a food processor: 1 cup cashews, 1 red bell pepper, 1/3 cup nutritional yeast, 4 T olive oil, 2 t salt, 1 t garlic powder, 2 t onion powder

Step 4. Process and add as much water as necessary to get a salad dressing-like consistency.

Step 5. Pour the dressing over the kale leaves.

Step 6. Toss the "salad".

Step 7. Place the coated kale leaves onto parchment-lined cookie sheets.

Step 8.  Bake in 275 degree F oven for 25 minutes or longer if not completely dry.

Step 9. Place kale chips in a bowl and marvel at how much they shrank in the oven.

Step 10. Enjoy!
