Kale Chips with Almond Butter and Miso

We have a friend who has an entire garden bed dedicated to kale that we get to use for these chips,”  We usually make them in a dehydrator, but the oven method works as well. 

INGREDIENTS

1/2 c. almond butter

1/4 c. warm water

1/4 c. chopped onion

3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

2 clove garlic

1 tbsp. white miso

1 tbsp. nutritional yeast (see Note)

1 tbsp. chopped fresh oregano

1 tbsp. chopped fresh thyme

2 tsp. cider vinegar

2 tsp. tamari

1/4 tsp. turmeric

1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper

1 1/2 lb. curly kale

Sea salt

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and position 3 racks spaced evenly apart. In a blender or food processor, puree all of the ingredients except the kale and salt.

Grease 3 large rimmed baking sheets with olive oil and divide the kale leaves among them. Drizzle the almond-butter mixture over the kale and rub each leaf to season evenly. Arrange the kale on the sheets in an even layer and season with salt. Bake for about 1 hour and 40 minutes, until the leaves are crisp. Switch the pans a few times during baking and rearrange to help them cook evenly. Let cool, then carefully lift the kale chips off the baking sheets with a spatula and serve.
