Kale chips

This thing about raw-food, as many of my friends know, sometimes it takes time to prepare. For example yesterday evening I started to prepare kale & zucchini chips. So, today when I came home from work, kale chips was ready but not zucchini. It's been dehydrating for 18h!!!!
We could enjoy kale chips this afternoon!!!
Tomorrow, hopefully, we will even enjoy zucchini as well! I´ll will inform you on that one!


I bought kale on farmers market on saturday and for the first time I decided to buy the purple one. I washed it and took away "trunk" the hard part & saved it for juicing. In the bowl I added olive oil and salt and kale. Gave it good massage with hands and made sure that all the lives were covered with oil & were soft. Than I added some smoked paprika and tossed it well before putting all the kale on the dehydrated sheets & in to the dehydrator for approximately 16-18h on 43 degrees. (you can put whatever you wont instead of paprika, onion powder, garlic etc use your imagination)





I made the same procedure for zucchini. To cut zucchini finely I used "mandoline" - food slicer.
