Kale Chips with Almond Butter and Miso

Ingredients

  • ½ c. Maisie Jane’s Smooth Almond Butter
  • ¼ c. warm water
  • ¼ c. chopped onion
  • 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 clove garlic
  • 1 tbsp. white miso
  • 1 tbsp. nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp. chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 tbsp. chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 tsp. cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp. tamari
  • ¼ tsp. turmeric
  • ¼ tsp. crushed red pepper
  • 1½ lb. curly kale
  • Sea salt

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

Kale isn’t the only thing that tastes great with almond butter drizzled over the top. Almond butter can be used in a variety of ways to add personality to a recipe while still keeping it healthy. From salads to smoothies, dinner dishes to desserts, you may be surprised what the versatile nut butter can do.
