Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C) if required by your model.
- Wash and thoroughly dry kale leaves. Remove stems and tear into bite-sized pieces.
- Toss kale with olive oil and sea salt until lightly coated without excess oil.
- Place kale in air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry for 5 to 8 minutes, shaking basket halfway through, until crisp but not burnt.
- Cool slightly before serving. Chips will crisp further as they cool.
Notes
Adjust cook time for crispier or softer texture. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking. Do not freeze, as texture becomes soggy. Handle gently after cooking. Customize with spices or seasonings. Store in airtight container up to two days for best crunch.
