- 6 cups kale, rinsed, spin-dried, and cut/torn into smaller pieces
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F.
- Mix the ingredients: Add the fresh kale leaves, olive oil, and salt to a large mixing bowl.
- Massage the kale: Using your hands, lightly massage the kale such that you evenly coat each leaf with olive oil.
- Arrange in the air fryer basket: Transfer the massaged kale pieces to the air fryer basket. Spread the leaves in a single layer, being sure not to overcrowd them. I recommend frying your kale leaves in batches to make crispy kale in the air fryer for the amount in this recipe. However, I prep the kale and prepare in small batches for just myself.
- Air fry the kale: Air fry the arranged kale leaves for ~3 minutes for lacinato kale and between 4-5 minutes for curly kale. You can turn and/or flip (depending on your air fryer basket) halfway during the process.
