Whenever I’m unfamiliar with a method of cooking or an ingredient I always use a recipe until I’m comfortable enough to start messing around with it.
I broke in my dehydrator with a Sour Cream and Onion Kale Chip recipe from Thrive Foods (this is my latest go-to recipe book and everything so far is fab-u-lous)
I couldn’t believe how easy this was and why I have not done this sooner. Especially because it’s so cheap compared to the pricy kale chips in store.
I immediately whipped up two variations the next day.
Basically there is a nut base (either sunflower seeds or cashews) and then a bunch of spices among other things.
This one was nooch flavored.
- ½ c sunflower and cashews
- 1/3 c water
- 1/3 c nooch
- ½ t salt
- ½ t pepper
I think this was my favorite….or maybe the sour cream and onion. Ah they’re all amahzing.
Curry Flavored
- ½ c sunflower and cashews
- 1/3 c water
- 1/3 c nooch
- ½ t salt
- ½ t pepper
- 1 T curry powder
Sour Cream and Onion
The onion powder was an excellent addition
One of the thing I love about making these is that I can put them in that night, flip the on switch, and they’re ready for me in the morning. Or vice versa.
My next mission is to come up with a bunch more variations! I’m thinking old bay will be next. And also a lot more fun with the dehydrator.
Question: Any flavor suggestions while I’m at it?

They look delicious we all love Kale, will have to try that! and hopefully very healthy!
Incredibly healthy! Could think of nothing better than snacking on a superfood
What is nooch?
That Kale looked awsome – where does one buy a dehydrator?

Nooch is Nutritional Yeast. Packed full of B-Vitamins.
I got my dehydrator on Craiglist for a great deal. But theyre pretty affordable on Amazon, just make sure you buy a Nesco
Do like the sound of the sour cream and onion ones! What a great flavour idea.
The apple cider vinegar is the key!
*whimper* Can you send some to me, please? I love everything in the ingredients list, and know I’d love the final taste too…
If only. ps if you dont have a dehydrator a SUPERlow setting on the oven would probably work. I set my dehydrator at 115F… Do you ever get exhausted from converting F to C or is it old hat by now?
I’ve only made kale chips in my oven. Is it easier with a dehydrator?
I personally think dehydrators are super easy. You can sturn them on and not have to worry about them till the end of the day or put it on overnight and take it out in the morning. Sometimes I only have a small window to make something in and dont have time to sit and watch it. perfect for that
