Ingredients

  • ½ bunch kale about 4 to 5 ounce
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Wash kale and pat dry thoroughly. Cut the leaves away from the spine and tear into bit size pieces.
  • Add olive oil and salt and mix with your hands to make sure that it is thoroughly combined.
  • Pre heat air fryer to 375°F. When hot, add kale into the basket, without overlapping too much.
  • Air Fry for 4 to 5 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice in between to crisp evenly. Keep a close eye on them after 3 minutes ( they will crisp up really fast in the last couple of minutes). They are done when crisp.
  • Season with more salt or your favorite seasonings and enjoy!

Notes

Tear chips a little larger – They will shrink some after air frying, so tear them a little larger than you want your chips to be.
Use the right amount of oil – Excess oil might make them soggy and not crispy.
Keep a close eye on them. These cook fast! They can crisp up in as little as 3 minutes or sometimes take up to 5 minutes. Keep a close eye after the 3 minute mark.
Cook 1 bunch – Simply cook in two batches.
