Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz Kale
  • 2.5 oz Tomato
  • Juice from 1/2 Lemon, Squeezed
  • 2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 dash Cayenne Pepper (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Chop the kale into large pieces.
  • Blend tomato, lemon juice, and nutritional yeast until smooth.
  • Pour the tomato mixture onto the chopped kale and toss until the kale is completely coated.
  • If using a food dehydrator, place the kale onto dehydrator sheets and dehydrate for 4 - 6 hours at 125 degrees Fahrenheit (or until desired crunchiness is achieved). If using an oven, bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until desired crunchiness is achieved (usually within 30 - 60 minutes). Just check the kale often to avoid making it too crisp!
