This recipe is a hit with every single one of my clients, especially those who come to me with salty cravings or children who won't eat greens.Start with simple kale chips (olive oil replacing the nacho sauce in this recipe) and explore new ways to eat more kale with a sauce that is cheesy in taste yet free of dairy, gluten and sugar, supporting your health and pleasing your taste buds at the same time! win-win... For RAW VEGANs, skip the roasting part! the kale massaged in this vegan nacho sauce is absolutely delicious, and you preserve even more of the nutrients by skipping the heating process:-)

Ingredients

• 6 CURLY KALE leaves
• 1/3 cup CASHEW
• 1/2 red BELL PEPPER
• 3 Tbsp NUTRITIONAL YEAST
• 1 tsp ONION POWDER
• 1 tsp GARLIC POWDER
• 1 Tbsp APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
• 1/3 cup WATER
• 1 tsp SEA SALT

Instructions

1. Turn your oven on 400F (200C) - roast
2. Remove stems from kale leaves and cut the leaves with your hands in a few pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl
3. Prepare the Nacho sauce: Place all remaining ingredients (except salt) in a food processor and blender on high speed until liquid and smooth!
4. Pour 2/3 of the sauce into the bowl and mix with your hands so the leaves are completely covered, and massaged in the nacho sauce. Save the leftover for dipping if you wish! (or reuse later as dressing for a salad)
5. Prepare a baking tray with a non stick baking sheet, and spread the kale over. add the sea salt all over, and place in warm oven for 10-15min (watch at 10min to avoid burning). when crispy remove and let the kale dry and cool down before enjoying . Store in a container with tight lid to preserve crispiness.
