Prep time: 15 | Cook time: 7 | Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 1 bunch kale, washed and dried
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
2. Remove the stems from the kale and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
3. Toss the kale with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
4. Spread the kale in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
5. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the kale is crispy and browned.
6. Remove from the air fryer and let cool on a wire rack before serving.

Why It Works

• The air fryer circulates hot air around the food, which helps to cook it evenly and quickly. This results in crispy, browned kale chips that are cooked through without being overcooked.
• The olive oil helps to coat the kale leaves and prevent them from sticking to the air fryer basket. It also adds flavor and helps the kale chips to crisp up.
• The salt and pepper add flavor to the kale chips. You can also add other spices or herbs to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
