Equipment

measuring spoons
large bowl
air fryer

Ingredients

1 large bunch of curly kale washed, stems removed, and completely dried (about 4 cups)
½ tablespoon of vegetable oil
A couple pinches of salt
Pinch of garlic powder optional
Pinch of nutritional yeast optional

Instructions

Cut the kale into 2-inch pieces.
Place the kale in a large bowl. Pour on the oil and gently massage it in for 1 minute.
Lay the kale in the air fryer basket in a single layer, sprinkle on a pinch or two of salt and garlic powder and nutritional yeast (if using), and cook for 3 to 4 minutes at 350 degrees F constantly monitoring, or until the kale is crispy and lightly browned at the edges of the kale.

Notes

Ensure the kale is dry: A salad spinner can help with this.
Don't overcrowd the tray: This is vital for ensuring you get wonderfully crispy kale chips. Work in batches if necessary.
To hold the chips in place: If you notice your kale chips flying around in your air fryer, add an air fryer rack or something similar to help hold them in place.
