Veggie Chips- Need more ideas!

[Veg4Life]

My kids LOVE kale chips. We go through at least 3-5 heads of a kale per week. I just marinate the kale in evoo and sea salt and dehydrate.

I'm wondering if I can make "chips" out of any other dark leafy greens? Anyone ever make collard chips or chard chips or any other type of green leafy chip???

[RawKnitster]

I'd like to know the answer to that, too. I've made chips using all kinds of kale but no other greens. There is one other veggie that makes a great chip. EGGPLANT. When I made eggplant bacon (on recipe forum) I left the peel on, sliced it in rounds as thin as possible, marinated, and dried it until crispy. It was more like a chip than bacon. The thinnest peices were the best.

I haven't tried any other Green Chip but have you thought about making Green Smoothie Leather?

Oooh, now there's an idea- I've never thought of that. Have you tried it?

I will definitely have to try that. I love eggplant, but grew up eating it breaded and fried and topped with...well, un-raw stuff. :D That sounds like a yummy recipe.

Just make your Smoothie as usual, pour on a non=pourus sheet and dehydrate, turns out just like......Fruit Leather. FYI...Banana Chips are RAWsome.

Veg4Life,

I know you asked about other green leafy veggies for chips, and I don't have anything to offer as far as that goes, but in case you are interested if you go to:

http://www.aimeeslivinmagic.com/Products_%26_Prices.html

and you scroll down toward the end, she makes two different zucchini chips, a pure salt and vinegar, and a cajun zucchini. If I were to get into that, of course I would try to make my own because of the satisfaction in doing so, and it being more cost effective for me.

Many blessings to you!

That recipe looks great. I did try zucchini chips once when I first went raw and it just tasted like, well, shriveled zucchini-not so good. I will have to marinate better this time.

I'm marinating in evoo and salt right now - How long do you usually marinate for?

I make zuchinni chips. sliced zuchinni, sprinkle with herbamare and dry.

Sure. Here it is. http://www.rawfoodtalk.com/showthread.php?t=5762&highlight=eggplant+bacon I posted the exact combo of ingredients I used on the last page.

P.S. I'm not sure if I was correct in calling it a forum...? If you click on the words "Raw Food Talk" near the little folder in the first box at the top of the page it brings up what I call the forum page. Go down to where it says "The Food". Recipes are in that section. Or you can do a banana search, (top of the page). I hope that helps. Welcome to RFT!

beets!

i did it by accident making rawvioli one time.......amazing!

we then used the filling for a dip

[rawchic]

sunchokes! I dip slice them thinly and dip them in apple cider vinegar and then dehydrate. They remind me of salt & vinegar potato chips!!!

[rawwannabie]

Do the kale chips taste bitter at all? I'm starting to try kale in my green smoothies, but I can totally taste it. So, what do they taste like?

Thanks!

Nope - ALL the bitterness is gone when you dehydrate the kale.
I cannot eat raw, fresh kale. The juices make me ill - but I love kale chips :D

I only marinate them for a few minutes...otherwise we just eat them before they get to the dehydrator!

beets? really! tell me exactly what you did. my kids love beets!

[green jeanie]

mmmmmmm It was for thanksgiving.

so pretty much i just cut them in rounds greased em up with some S+P and dehydrated until it was time to eat. imo they could have gone longer and been really crispy

It was from the beet ravioli recipe on goneraw.com

i can't remember it totally but there was also a grapeseed oil and chive drizzle that was just sooo delish that went with the original recipe.

but the beets were my favoriet part

FYI i also did eggplant yesterday:

sliced an eggplant very thin
soaked in salted water over night
rubbed with evoo and italian herbs
dehydrate

=

chips!!!!

[rubie_sukie]

just so everyone knows eggplant contain a poison when not cooked you have to eat alot of it but still i never risk it

Banana is the key to not tasting Kale... at least one, maybe a couple or more when you're starting out. That and starting slow and getting used to it. I'd NEVER had a 'green' in my life and like kale in smoothies now. Also you can remove the stem if you want - it is the most bitter/flavorful.

[RawHorizons]

Great Ideas on chips,will have to try some of the recipes. Just thought Id add I made some collard chips once mixed with rawcheese.they were not bad at all,not my fav,hard to beat a kale chip. Also made sweet potato chips ,soaked in water,then brushed them with evoo an seasonings.I diddnt let the Dh long enough,but there were good as well
