Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 5 cups kale, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Kale: Rinse kale under cool water thoroughly to remove any dirt. Place the kale on a stack of paper towels and pat dry carefully to remove as much moisture as possible, ensuring crispiness.
  2. Season the Kale: Chop the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss the chopped kale with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 tablespoon olive or avocado oil until evenly coated.
  3. Air Fry the Kale: Place the seasoned kale in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F for approximately 4 minutes, making sure to toss the kale halfway through cooking for even crispiness. Watch carefully towards the end to prevent burning as kale is delicate.
  4. Serve: After air frying, sprinkle additional seasoning if desired and serve the kale chips immediately to enjoy their maximum crispiness.

Notes

  • Ensure kale is completely dry before air frying to achieve maximum crispness.
  • Adjust salt amount to taste or substitute with other seasonings like garlic powder or smoked paprika for variety.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed to allow proper air circulation.
  • Serve immediately after cooking as kale chips can lose their crispness if left out too long.
