Extra crunchy raw vegan kale chips made with spicy sesame cheese. When I say extra crunchy I mean it! The vegan cheese sauce dehydrates into a thick and delicious cracker like crust.

A simple vegan sesame cheese, dare I say raw vegan, made from sesame seeds, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, and agar agar. Un-hulled sesame seeds have a very nutty flavor, almost a little smoky I’d say. If you like sesame seeds then you’ll really like this cheese. Since cashews are used in pretty much every cheese recipe nowadays, which makes …
