How to Make It
- Clean the kale, cut out the thick ribs, and tear or cut the leaves into bite-size pieces.
- To prepare each kind of savory kale chips, put the kale and all the other ingredients into a large bowl, and toss. To prepare the sweet kale chips, first mash the banana. Purée the banana and the remaining ingredients in a food processor, or use an electric mixer. Massage the mixture into the kale leaves.
- Spread out the kale on dehydrating trays that have ventilating holes. (This is very important.) Dry the kale in a dehydrator at 104°F (40°C) for 5–7 hours. The drying time will depend on the dehydrator. Test for crispness occasionally.
