Instructions
Strawberry Beet Chia Jam
- Make your chia jam the day before, or at lease an hour prior to putting your board together. Simply blend your strawberries, maple syrup and water until smooth and then pour into a bowl and stir in your chia seeds. Place in the fridge to thicken.
Sweetened Beet Popcorn
- Make your popcorn next
- First, pop your popcorn (if popping at home)
- **I used 1/2 cup popcorn kernels in my air popper, that made more that I needed for the recipe
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Prepare a large parchment line baking sheet
- Heat a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring all the simple syrup ingredients to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 5 minutes
- Next, add 12 cups of popped popcorn to a large bowl and pour the syrup over the popcorn. Stirl to coat the popcorn well, then spread the popcorn onto your parchment lined baking sheet and bake the popcorn in your oven for 10-15 minutes
- Let the popcorn cool, then break apart and add to your board!
Cheesy Beet Kale Chips
- Keep your oven heated to 300 degrees
- In a large bowl, add your washed and thoroughly dried kale leaves and toss with the oil, salt, 1 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1/2 tsp beetroot powder. Then transfer to a parchemnt lined baking sheet (may use the same as what you made your popcorn with to cut down on cleaning!). Sprinkle the kale with the remaining 1 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1/2 tsp beetroot powder and bake for about 20-30 minutes while your put your board together (leaving room for the kale chips of course!)
Put Your Board Together
