"Cheesy" Kale Chips!

I fell in love with these chips when my friend Megan introduced these to me. This is her recipe with a little twist.You won't believe that these Yummy Chips are strictly Vegan. Yes team Plant Strong. Now, these chips are so freaking GOOD. This recipe serves 6, but you may be tempted to have a double serving. They are that good, TRUST ME.
 
You will need
2 bunches of Kale(about 12 stalks)
1 Cup Cashews
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Agave Nectar
2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/2 Tsp Salt
2 Tbsp Water
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper(optional)

Tear the Kale leaves off the stalks into bite size pieces and place in a Large Bowl. In a food Processor or Blender add the Cashews, chopped Bell pepper(remove the seeds), agave, oil, water, and nutritional yeast. Blend until you have a Chunky sauce mixture.

Pour the mixture over the Kale and mix with clean hands. Arrange your Chips in a dehydrator at 115 degrees for 8-12 Hours.

You can also make these in the Oven at 300 Degrees for 20 minutes. Just watch them so that they don't burn.
Enjoy
