How Long to Air Fry Kale (leaves)

Air fry kale (leaves) at 375°F (190°C) for 6-9 minutes. Exact settings, when to shake, and how to tell when it is done.

375°F for 6 to 9 minutes, shake at 3.

1. 1

   Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for 3 minutes.

2. 2

   Arrange the kale (leaves) in a single layer with space between pieces. Crowding traps steam and stops browning.

3. 3

   Air fry for 6 to 9 minutes, shaking or flipping at the 3-minute mark.

4. 4

   Start checking at 6 minutes. Every air fryer runs a little differently.

Use these settings as a starting point; thickness, quantity, and appliance model affect timing. How to use our cooking guides.
