Kale Chips
If you are on the look-out for a nutritious, crunchy, & savory snack, these Crispy Seasoned Kale chips are the perfect choice. I used to make kale chips in the oven but since I purchased my air fryer, making these has been so quick and easy. The air fryer also helps create the perfect crave-able crunch without excess oil and frying!
Did you know that kale is a vegetable that is part of the cabbage family? This leafy green is filled with beneficial nutrients like fiber, folate, vitamin C, vitamin A, and iron. A few ways I like to enjoy these nutritious Crispy Seasoned Kale Chips is during movie nights, served with lunch sandwiches, and even as a garnish for soups and curry dishes!
Crispy Seasoned Kale Chips (Air Fryer Recipe)
Servings: 2-4
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: about 3 minutes
Total Time: 8 minutes
Author: Huma Naz
Ingredients:
-
1 bunch of kale
-
1-2 tsp. oil (I used avocado oil)
-
1/4 tsp. black pepper
-
1/8 tsp. chili powder
Directions:
-
Thoroughly wash and dry kale chips. Then remove the steam and tear the leaves into medium-large pieces.
-
Toss the kale in a bowl with all the seasonings and oil. Mix all ingredients till kale leaves are coated well.
-
Spread kale out into the air fryer basket evenly in a single layer (may need to cook in batches) and place the metal air fryer rack on top of the kale to prevent them from flying during the cook time.
-
Air fry the kale for about 2-3 minutes at 360°F (adjust cook time as needed). You may need to check in between time since they can burn easily and give the basket a little shake.
-
Once the kale chips are done(should be crispy without large dark burned spots) place them in an open plate to cool & enjoy!
Recipe Notes:
-
Different ways you can season the chips include- parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, curry powder, everything but the bagel seasoning are some ideas!
-
Extra kale chips can be stored in a sealed baggie/container for up to a week.
