Spicy Cheezy Kale Chips Gluten Free/Vegan

...these taste like Doritoes, but are so much healthier!

***You will need a dehydrator for this recipe*** (you also need to soak the nuts overnight before you start this recipe)

2 small bunches of kale  (we prefer the curly kale for chips) washed, ribs taken out and air dried

The rest of the ingredients go in an industrial high powered blender (we have a Blendtec)

1 cup raw unsalted macadamia nuts (soaked overnight in fridge and drained)
1/2 cup raw unsalted cashews (soaked overnight in fridge and drained)
1-2 TBSP olive oil
1 to 1 and 1/2 red bell pepper roughly chopped
1 lemon juiced
sea salt to taste
1 to 1 and 1/2 jalapeno pepper
1/4 tsp ground cayenne
3 small cloves garlic peeled and minced
1/4  of a small white onion

Put bell peppers in blender first (this helps to process ingredients better) then add the rest of the ingredients. Blend til completely smooth.
Toss cheeze sauce like salad dressing with the dried kale make sure each piece is coated as evenly as possible (I find your hands work best for this job)
Put on dehydrator racks at 110-115 degrees til kale chips are crispy, usually takes overnight to 24 hours depending how dry you want them, then enjoy!
