Ingredients

  • 1 bunch kale rinsed and dried
  • 1 Tbsp. oil olive or avocado
  • ¼ tsp. salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Set a 6-quart Air Fryer to 350°F and let it heat up for at least 3 minutes.

  2. Remove the ribs from the kale and then tear the leaves of kale into 1-2 inch pieces.

  3. Add the kale leaves to a large bowl. Drizzle with oil and then sprinkle with salt. Toss until all of the leaves are evenly coated.

  4. Working in two batches, place half of the kale leaves in a single layer in the Air Fryer basket. Cook for 4-5 minutes, tossing the basket halfway through. Keep a close eye on them after the 3 minute mark - they will crisp up really fast after this! Repeat with the remaining kale.
  5. Sprinkle with additional salt or seasonings, to taste, and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Meal Prep and Storage

  • To Prep-Ahead: You can prep the kale a day or two before air frying. 

  • To Store: Keep these low-carb kale chips in a brown paper bag, or in a plastic bag with a paper towel. Keep them at room temperature for up to one week. They might get soggy in an airtight container. They will be best the first 2-3 days as they begin to lose their crispiness after that.

  • To Freeze: It is not recommended to freeze these kale chips.

  • To Reheat: You can make them crispy again by popping them back in the air fryer at 300° F for 1-2 minutes.
