Prep Time 25 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 8 cups
Ingredients
- 1 bunch curly kale leaves
- 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
- 1 tablespoon mixed dried Italian herbs
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Celtic sea salt, plus more to taste
- 3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
-
Rip the kale leaves from their stalks, and discard the stalks. Wash the leaves and place them in a colander to drain thoroughly. Transfer to a large bowl.
-
Throw the olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, garlic, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and red pepper flakes into your high-speed blender, and blast on high for 30 to 60 seconds, until smooth and creamy.
-
Transfer the tomato mixture to the mixing bowl and with your hands, massage it into the kale leaves, until all leaves are evenly coated.
-
Place the leaves on mesh screens fitted with non-stick sheets, and place in your dehydrator at 115 degrees for about 8 hours until crisp.

Have been waiting sooooo long for another kale chip explosion! Such a great alternative… no where near as naughty for a mid movie or P and P marathon snack! Thanks Tess, for treating us all to a fabulously yummy night!
YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM. I have nothing else to say here. YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had a girls movie night recently, and served these…well, the whole bowl was polished off in minutes! YUM!!!
Wonderful! I LOVE hearing that 🙂
I really enjoyed these as did my other friends I let try them!
LOL! Yes…it’s a bit that way at my house too 🙂
Thanks for sharing! He He He
I tried this recipe and to me it was a little overpowering i almost felt like a little sugar would help the acidity, i like it with my eggs for breakfast, but if i eat just by itself its a little too sour for me.
Thanks for your feedback Luda.
If you add in some more sweetener it should fix this issue 🙂
LOVE chocolate kale chips! Thanks for taking the time to leave a lovely comment. Great to be connected 🙂
Love kale chips! And much better (cheaper) than store bought!
Do you think I could replace some of the olive oil with coconut oil?
And of course: Love your website and all the wonderful recipes and information!
Yes, you can use some coconut oil in this recipe. It will alter the flavour slightly. I LOVE coconut oil, I have just had better results with olive oil in this blend. I will be interested to hear your thoughts after you make them. Thankyou for your lovely comments about the site too. Great to be connected 🙂
Where is the rest of the recipe? #6 is incomplete.
So sorry Jean, I don’t know what happened. I have just restored it. Thanks for the heads up!
I am also wanting to make this, but step 6 isn’t complete – help!
Thanks for pointing that out Erin. Sorry, that must have gotten cut off with the update. Enjoy 🙂
