Air Fryer Kale Chips

Step 1

Wash the kale by rinsing under the tap. Shake the water off of the kale as much as possible.

Step 2

On a cutting board, remove the stems of the kale as shown in the photo.

Step 3

Tear the kale into bite-sized pieces then place in a salad spinner.

Step 4

Spin the kale until the water has been removed.

Step 5

IF you don't have a spinner, blot the kale with paper towels as much as possible to remove the moisture.

Step 6

Place into a large bowl and drizzle the olive oil over the kale. Sprinkle with salt.

Step 7

Massage the kale lightly to ensure that the oil and the salt cover all of the leaves.

Step 8

Place the kale into the basket of your air fryer. It should be around 5-6 cups of kale.

Step 9

Cook at 365 °F (you don't need to preheat your fryer) for 2 minutes, then shake. Check again at 4 minutes to see if it's done.

Step 10

Continue to cook to desired doneness, checking every minute to ensure that it doesn't burn. I like a few browned bits of kale in mine, my son thinks those are burnt, while I think that they are the best part!

Step 11

Remove and place in a bowl. If desired, toss with a couple of teaspoons of your favorite seasoning.
