Ingredients
For the Kale Chips (Serves 2–4):
- 1-2 large bunch fresh kale
- 1–2 teaspoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- Optional: garlic powder, nutritional yeast, or chili flakes for extra flavor
- Fresh edible flowers from your garden (for decoration)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Kale: Wash the kale thoroughly and pat it completely dry with a clean towel or salad spinner. Remove the thick stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
- Season Lightly: Place the kale in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1–2 teaspoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Massage gently with your hands to coat every leaf evenly. Avoid over-oiling — a little goes a long way!
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to Bake function at 400°F and let it preheat for 2 minutes.
- Air Fry the Chips: Arrange the kale in a single layer in the air fryer basket (cook in batches if needed). Air fry at 400°F for 5–6 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Watch closely after 5 minutes to prevent burning.
- Check for Crispiness: The chips are ready when the edges are crispy and slightly browned but not burnt.
- Cool Slightly: Let the kale chips cool for 1–2 minutes on a plate — they crisp up even more as they cool.
- Decorate and Serve: Transfer to a serving plate and decorate beautifully with fresh flowers from your own garden for a vibrant, garden-fresh look.
Storage Tip: These are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1–2 days. They may lose some crispiness over time.
These Easy 6-Minute Air Fryer Kale Chips are sure to become your new favorite healthy snack. Crispy, light, and full of flavor — plus they’re a great way to use your garden kale and add a pretty floral touch! Perfect for the whole family and your BeauScott Recipes collection.
