Air Fryer Kale Chips

Air Fryer Kale Chips to me and many others is like magic food. The fact that something as simple as kale, can be quickly seasoned, thrown in the air fryer and then made crispy.

It is the perfect quick healthy snack and once you try airfryer kale chips there will be no going back.

I first tried kale chips back in 2015, after first discovering the Paleo diet. I had a big sample batch of them sent from a brand on Amazon and fell head over heels in love with them. How can something so healthy taste so good?

Air Fryer Kale Chips (many varieties)

The wonderful thing about air fryer kale chips, is that theycan be cooked in a variety of ways.

As long as you remember that each session of kale chips inthe air fryer requires a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, then you won’tgo wrong changing it for your favourite kale chips seasonings.

Add Salt & Pepper for a Basic flavouring
Add Garam Masala for an Indian flavouring
Add Chinese 5 Spice for a Chinese flavouring
Add Taco Seasoning for a Mexican flavouring
Add Oregano for best of the Mediterranean flavouring

These are of course, some simple ideas of how to flavour up your air fryer kale chips. But it is totally up to you and what seasonings you have in or what seasonings you LOVE.

If I am not sharing with my Indian food hating husband, then I am garam masala all the way as I love it for a quick snack in the air fryer.

Why Cook Air Fryer Kale Chips?

Because it makes much better kale chips than what the ovendoes. It is quick, it is easy and it’s a perfect use of your leftover freshkale.

You can also have a snack that you know is healthy and goodfor you.

Plus, unlike other vegetables, kale is so much faster tocook, so you’re not waiting around for your chips.

The BIGGEST EVER Air Fryer Kale Chips Mistake

The worst thing you can do when making kale chips in the airfryer is to cook less than 80g of fresh kale. That is because it takes off asthe air circulates and makes it so that all the lovely kale vanishes out ofyour air fryer basket and into the bottom.

But the bulk of cooking at least 80g worth of fresh kalesolves this problem.

I also recommend that you stay with your air fryer when it makes kale chips just to be safe. If you can smell burning its because a piece of kale has got dislodged and is stuck.

Though that only happens 1 in every 5 times that I have made air fryer kale chips.

How To Store Air Fryer Kale Chips?

For me, my air fryer kale chips went from the air fryer tobeing eaten. They were just so good, I was stood over the air fryer eating themall!

But if you have better discipline than me with your air fryer kale chips, then you can store them in zip loc bags. They keep their freshness and you can also take them to work with you.
