Ingredients

Kale

1 large bunch curly kale, stems removed and torn into pieces

1 tbsp olive oil

1/4 tsp salt

Seasoning

2 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp smoked paprika

Equipment

Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

1
Wash kale and dry thoroughly — a salad spinner works best. Moisture is the enemy of crispiness.
2
Remove tough stems. Tear leaves into large chip-sized pieces (they shrink).
3
Toss with olive oil, salt, and seasonings. Massage the oil into every piece.
4
Arrange in a single layer — no overlapping. Air fry at 375°F for 5-7 minutes, checking every 2 minutes.
5
Remove any pieces that are crispy. Continue cooking the rest. Season immediately.

💡

Tip: Kale chips go from perfect to burnt in seconds — check frequently and remove done pieces early. They also crisp up more as they cool, so pull slightly early.
