Nacho "Cheese" Kale Chips (Dairy, Gluten and MSG Free)

By Irene Shaver @hhwife
I could go on and on about the benefits of kale.  It really is a super food, one of the best vegetables out there.  This dark green leafy vegetable is high in fibre, vitamin A and calcium.   It has one of the highest antioxidant levels, making it an excellent fighter against cancer.  Kale also works as a detoxifier, helping the body eliminate what it doesn't need.   
Used my Nacho "Cheese" Sauce/Dip to make these kale chips. I could not stop eating them, they did not last long.  They can be made in a dehydrator, keeping them raw or you could bake them in your oven.
