Kiwi Chips

We've been a little crazy with the dehydrator, dehydrating anything we can find. Kiwis are one of our latest victims! They are so delicious!

Ingredients:

2 kiwis

Peel the kiwis and slice them as thinly as possible.
Dry them on the dehydrator at 70C overnight or until they are brittle.

The cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli have been taking over our vege patch with their massive leaves and one day my boyfriend said we should juice the leaves because apparently chlorophyll is really good for you. I was a bit skeptic about eating the leaves so I looked it up online and woah!!! I found out you can do all sorts of things with the leaves! You can juice them, cook them or even make chips out of them! I was so excited when I found out, I went home and plucked a couple leaves off each plant to make sure they don't go bare and started to make the first batch. Here I used kale, spinach, broccoli leaves, cauliflower leaves and cabbage leaves.

Ingredients:

broccoli leaves

cabbage leaves

cauliflower leaves

spinach

kale

coconut oil

salt

Pluck any stem out, wash the leaves and pat them dry.
Drizzle some oil and sprinkle the salt on top.
Mix the leaves together and place them in the dehydrator at 35C for about 5 hours or until they get brittle.

Sweet Potato Chips

There are many ways to make sweet potato chips. You can fry them in coconut oil, bake them in the oven or dehydrate them. Since we have recently acquired a dehydrator, I decided to dry my own sweet potato chips.

Warning: The jar was full to the brim at 9am. By 5pm, the jar was empty.

Ingredients:
1 medium sweet potato
coconut oil
salt

Slice the sweet potato as thinly as possible with a sharp knife. Soak them in cold water for an hour, changing the water after 30 minutes.
Dry the sweet potato and coat the slices lightly with coconut oil.
Place them on the racks in one layer and sprinkle salt over them.
Dehydrate for 12 hours at 70C, rotating the trays every couple hours to ensure that they dry evenly.

We did turn it down to 30C before we went to bed in case the chips burnt.

Sweet Potato Chips

We had bacon and eggs and sweet potato chips this weekend for breakfast. Whaaaat? Chips for breakfast? It's delicious! It's crunchy and healthy... made from sweet potatoes, spiced with cinnamon and cooked in coconut oil. YUM and it's super easy to make!

Ingredients:

2 tbsp coconut oil

1 small sweet potato

cinnamon powder

Slice the sweet potato really thinly. The thinner it is, the crispier they become when you fry them.
In a frying pan, heat up the coconut oil and place a layer of thinly sliced sweet potato.
Sprinkle the cinnamon powder over the sweet potato and flip them over once the bottom is golden brown. Once both sides have turned golden brown and let it set for a couple minutes before serving so they turn crispy.

Alternatively you could bake it in the oven. Just oil the sweet potato slices and sprinkle cinnamon powder over them and bake in the oven at 170 degree until they turn golden brown and then turn them over.
