Ingredients

• 1 bunch of kale, stems removed and cut or torn into chip-size pieces
• olive oil, regular
• Kosher salt, amount to taste
• fresh ground pepper, amount to taste
• optional ingredients, serve with cheese, hot sauce, soy sauce, any favorite seasonings or sauces

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, add prepped kale pieces, olive oil, kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper and mix until the kale is fully coated.
2. Add the prepared kale to the air fryer basket in a single layer (you might have to do this in batches, or if you want to do multiple layers you will need to move them around with tongs so they will evenly cook). Cook at 250 degrees F for 10 minutes and check, turn over any leaves if needed. Cook 5 minutes more, checking every 5 minutes and removing any pieces that are done as you go along. Be careful not to let the kale chips burn which can easily happen as they get close to being done. Enjoy!
