I never fathomed consuming an entire bunch of kale in one sitting until I found myself at the bottom of a plate that once held a tower of these Cheesy Kale Chips. Yikes!

Excessive? Maybe. Regrettable? I mean 1 cup of cashews is a lot for one person but KALE right?!

All joking aside, I know a dehydrator is not the most common kitchen appliance around. I got mine from Aldi for about $20 a few years ago while I don’t dehydrate often, I will say that these kale chips alone, make finding the space and few extra bucks totally worth it. I promise you!
