Notes

  • If you notice the kale chips are flying around in the air fryer you can put an air fryer rack or metal trivet on them as they cook.
  • Make sure to dry the leaves well before cooking. It will help them crisp up better.
  • Check the progress half way through cooking. They cook up quickly and you don't want them to burn. When they're looking a little brown on the edges, they're done.

All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
