Ingredients

4servings

1 bunch kale1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste salt and ground black pepper to taste1 ½ teaspoons chile-lime seasoning (such as Tajin®)2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Instructions

Prepare and Season Kale

Start by heating your air fryer to 280°F. Meanwhile, wash the kale and tear the leaves away from the tough ribs, then dry them really well so they crisp up nicely. Toss the kale in a big bowl with olive oil, rubbing it in with your hands to make sure every piece is lightly coated. Sprinkle in some salt, pepper, and chile-lime seasoning, then mix everything together.

Air Fry Kale in Batches

Working in batches, add a single layer of kale to the air fryer basket—try not to overlap the pieces. Cook for about 5 minutes, then give the basket a good shake and cook for another 3 minutes. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the kale, shake it around so the cheese sticks, and air fry for 2 more minutes until everything is crispy. Keep an eye on the kale as you go and repeat with the rest of the batches, keeping the temperature low to avoid burning.

Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature. To keep them crispy, avoid moisture and consume within 1-2 days. If they lose crunch, reheat briefly in the air fryer before serving.
