Ingredients:
- 1 large bunch of kale (about 6 cups, stems removed and leaves torn into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Kale: Wash and thoroughly dry the kale leaves. Remove the thick stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
- Season the Kale: Place the kale in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure the leaves are evenly coated.
- Air Fry the Kale: Place the kale leaves in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Air fry for 4-5 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the kale is crispy and slightly browned.
- Serve: Remove the kale chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Enjoy immediately for the best crunch!
