Crispy Kale Chips in Air Fryer
These Air Fryer Kale Chips come together quickly for a healthy snack that is light, crispy, and packed with flavor.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 bunch Kale, fresh
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Wash and dry kale leaves thoroughly. Tear into about 3 inch pieces. (The kale will shrink a bit).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, smoked paprika, and sea salt.
- Place the kale in a large bowl, drizzle the oil mixture over the kale and massage into the leaves. Ensure all leaves are covered. It might not seem like enough dressing, but trust me there is!
- Place kale in air basket in batches, being careful not to overload the basket. **
- Air fry at 300°F for 5 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through. If the kale chips are not crispy, then add an additional minute watching carefully to not burn. *See note below
- Enjoy!
Notes
- To prevent the kale chips from flying around in the basket - take the rack that is in the air fryer out, place the kale chips in the bottom, and lightly placed the rack on top of the kale. This helps keep the kale from flying around in the basket and getting caught in the heating element. The kale is light, so the air can still circulate to make them crispy. If you have an extra rack that your air fryer came with, I would keep the bottom one in place and stack the second rack on top of the kale.
- Storage: after the kale chips have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container with a paper towel at the bottom to absorb any moisture for up to 3 days.
