Equipment

1 Air Fryer This is mine & I love it!

Ingredients

5 oz kale fresh, purchased as, is with rib.
1 tablespoon olive oil or other oil you cook with
½ teaspoon Kosher Salt If using fine salt, use a little less
⅛ teaspoon onion powder optional - a little goes a long way, you can always add more.

Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 350°F for about 3 - 5 minutes. Air fryers preheat quick!
Strip or cut the kale off the stems/ribs. Tear into smaller pieces. Try to have uniform-ish sized pieces for even cooking
Add one layer of kale pieces to air fryer basket. The kale shrinks as it cooks so it creates enough space to have hot air circulate around it. Do not put more than one layer!

Cook for 2 minutes. Some of the kale should start to brown at this point. Feel some pieces to see if they are crispy. In many cases, this 2 minutes is enough. If the kale does not feel crispy, add another minute but watch closely! It goes from crispy to burnt very quickly.

Notes

Kale chips will store on the counter for a day or two. It doesn't do well with humidity.
It's such a quick and easy snack, I make as much as I expect to be eaten (and it always is).
