These chips are remarkably moreish, so be prepared to bake countless batches! My partner, Nic, makes this crispy green goodness almost daily because they disappear as soon as they come out of the oven.

The beauty of kale chips is that you can flavor them in so many different ways with spices, herbs, nuts, seeds, and veggies. Serve them on their own as a snack, toss them into salads, sprinkle them on slow-roasted veggies, or even add them as a finishing touch to canapés. For something exciting, toss the kale chips with grated dehydrated carrot, ground cumin and coriander, and cashews.
1

Preheat the oven to 120°C. Grease a large baking tray with coconut oil and line with baking paper.

2

Combine the sunflower seeds, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, lemon juice, coconut oil, and ¼ teaspoon sea salt in a food processor and blend to a slightly coarse paste. Transfer the paste to a large bowl and add the kale, then toss to coat evenly.

3

Arrange the kale in a single layer on the prepared baking tray and bake for 40 – 50 minutes, or until crispy. Start checking after 30 minutes; don’t overcook the kale leaves or they will easily burn. Remove from the oven and cool before serving. Store in an airtight container.
