Ingredients

  • 1 bunch fresh kale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or smoked paprika optional, for extra flavor

Instructions

  • Wash and thoroughly dry the kale leaves. Remove the thick stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
  • Place the kale pieces in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and any optional seasoning you like.
  • Toss the kale to coat the leaves evenly with oil and seasoning.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.
  • Place the kale in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • Cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the kale is crispy but not burnt.
  • Remove the kale chips and let them cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy immediately for best crunch!

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Large bowl

Notes

For a flavor twist, try sprinkling your kale chips with nutritional yeast or Parmesan cheese after air frying. A pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper adds a spicy kick. Check out related recipes like Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers and Parmesan Roasted Broccoli for more snack and side ideas.
