    We enjoy light snacks as much as we do hearty dinners. Even when we are craving a small-bite snack, we want meals that are flavorful, rich, and packed.

    Chips are the most convenient snack item available. Once a pack of chips is opened, no one can help but bite into them one after another since they are so crunchy, flavorful, and simply unique. From potatoes to bananas, spinach, and more, you can make chips from various ingredients.

    Introducing a remarkably healthy chips recipe – Air Fried Kale Chips. It's true that chips can also be a nutritious choice.

    These chips are really healthy! Ask why? Kale has powerful anti-inflammatory qualities because of its antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, which also help regulate hormones and decrease cholesterol. They are also rich in vitamins, especially vitamin K and vitamin A, along with other essential nutrients. Without further ado, let's learn how to make these chips!

    I used my Instant Vortex Plus 6 Quart Air Fryer for this recipe. I love this because you can get the food in a single layer all at once, and dinner is ready in 30 minutes or less. Any air fryer brand like Cosori 5.8QT, Cuisinart Air Fryer Oven, Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Duo Crisp works here.

    Air Fryer Kale Chips Ingredients

    • Kale - You can use any variety of kale for this kale chips recipe, such as curly, Tuscan, or red Russian kale. I have used organic curly kale as they are much better suited for chips.
    • Extra-virgin olive oil - is ideal for roasting and adds richness, and helps to crisp up the kale in the air fryer.
    • Seasoning - I have used only garlic powder, salt, and pepper for seasoning.
