Crispy and healthy kale chips made in an air fryer, perfect as a nutritious snack or side dish. These easy-to-make chips are seasoned simply with olive oil and sea salt for a deliciously light and satisfying treat.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 6 cups kale leaves
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Sea salt flakes, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Kale: Remove the tough centers of the kale stems and break the leaves into approximately one-inch pieces to fit comfortably in the air fryer basket.
  2. Season the Kale: Toss the kale pieces with olive oil and sprinkle sea salt flakes to your liking, ensuring the leaves are lightly but thoroughly coated with the oil.
  3. Air Fry the Kale Chips: Spread the seasoned kale evenly in the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook for 4 minutes. After 2 minutes, shake or stir the kale to ensure even crisping. Continue cooking until the kale chips are crispy and lightly browned.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow even airflow and crispiness.
  • For added flavor, try sprinkling nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, or garlic powder before air frying.
  • Consume immediately for the best texture as kale chips can become soggy over time.
  • Storing kale chips in an airtight container helps maintain crispness for a short time.
