Silverbeet 'Cheesy' Chips

Image
Desperate for some Kale Chips and a garden full of Silver Beet had us experimenting again Man, we could almost taste those chips ! Topping to coat the Silver Beet Chips - a mix of Tamari, Tahini, Water, nutritional yeast, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds You can add salt like Himalayan if you like but taste it first as the Tamari and Nutritional yeast gives it enough salty taste. Coating the Beet with the dressing before dehydrating  Spreading out the Beet in the Dehydrator Trays - I am using a circular one here but a square larger one would work best if you do a lot of dehydrating ( and love Kale/Silver Beet chips!)  Get Dehydrators Finished chips ready and waiting to be demolished in double quick time 

Kale Chips

Kale Chips  You just gotta love them, the way they just nag you until every last one has gone ! Kale chips, like potato chips but way better for you and so moreish you need to make twice as much as you need if you are planning on a shared snack.  Kale chips (aka silver beet as we had no kale  Wash and tear up kale (or silver beet)and remove the tougher stems and they will come out better if you dry them off in a towel or salad spinner Sprinkle over  Sea Salt and vinegar  and toss  Drizzle over one tablespoon of olive oil and toss again  Dry out slowly – in the oven or in a dehydrator These two look like 2 nagging people - love how all the dried “chips” come out so much like people.

After a rethink here are some quick ideas for a festive occasion finger food that won't involve slaving over a hot stove, can be prepared fast and will look great too How you present  your offering  will make or break it and you can get away with a very simple plate if it looks amazing.   Here are some ide...
