AVO-KALE TOAST

INGREDIENTS

1-2 slices of your favorite bread (Gluten Free featured here)

1 Fresh avocado

Noochy kale chips (recipe follows) 

1 bunch Lacinato (Dinosaur) kale

¼ cup nutritional yeast

1-2 tbsp. coconut oil

½ tsp. sea salt

Herbed Tahini (recipe follows)

1 cup tahini

¼ cup packed fresh herbs (I used parsley, cilantro and dill)

DIRECTIONS

Noochy Kale Chips
Strip away and discard the stems of the kale. Tear the leaves into bite-size pieces then toss and massage leaves with coconut oil and salt. Finally, add nutritional yeast (nooch) and toss to incorporate. Lay the leaves out on dehydrator trays and set the temperature to 135F. Allow to dehydrate for at least 4 hours. If not using a dehydrator then preheat oven to 300F and place your leaves on a baking sheet. Cook for 5-10 minutes until leaves are crunchy but aren’t burned. (This can be a fine line so watch them closely!)

Herbed Tahini
Blend tahini and fresh herbs in a high speed blender until  herbs are incorporated 

ASSEMBLE

Spread a thin layer of herbed tahini on toast, top with avocado slices and crumbled kale chips.
