RAW VEGAN KALE CHIPS
For those of you not familiar with kale chips - welcome to vegan nirvana. Raw foodists, vegans, health nuts, or those in "the green know" chow down happily on a handful of fresh kale chips as a green, nutritious alternative to conventional potato chips. They are not fried or baked; free from all of the carcinogens, additives and preservatives that plague most shriveled potato chip packets; they are dehydrated, which preserves all of their natural enzymes and nutrients; and most importantly, they are absolutely scrumptious. I promise you - these kale chips are to die for! The secret to finishing this recipe off with that extra special touch? Tossing through the granulated garlic at the end. It just gives it a depth of flavour that is missing if you don't finish it off this way. Don't worry if you don't have a dehydrator - you can slow cook kale chips in your oven on the very lowest setting for about 8-12 hours.

Steps:
- Rip the kale from off the stalks (discard the stalks), wash and place in a colander to drain. You want a little bit of water left on the kale.
- Transfer to a large bowl.
- Place all the ingredients except the kale and the granulated garlic in a food processor until smooth, thick and creamy. You want something like the consistency of hummus. You might need to add a little bit more water.
- Take small handfuls of the cashew cheese and massage into the kale. I use kitchen gloves for this. Repeat this until all of the mixture has been added and the kale is evenly coated with no large clumps of "cheese".
- Toss through the granulated garlic so that it is evenly distributed.
- Place the kale evenly on dehydrator sheets and dehydrate for about 8 hours until crisp.
- If you don't have a dehydrator you can place them on baking sheets in the oven on the lowest setting for about 10-12 hours.

Tips:
- To make kale chips, start with fresh, curly kale leaves. Remove the tough stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
- Massage the kale leaves with olive oil, salt, and pepper. This helps to break down the tough fibers and makes the chips more crispy.
- Spread the kale leaves in a single layer on a baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the chips will not crisp up.
- Bake the kale chips at a low temperature (275 degrees Fahrenheit or 135 degrees Celsius) for 15-20 minutes, or until they are crispy.
- Remove the kale chips from the oven and let them cool before eating. They will become more crispy as they cool.
- Store the kale chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
