- Sprinkle on the nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper and toss to coat.
- Preheat the air fryer to 270 degrees.
- Place the kale in the air fryer, in as close to a single layer as possible. You will be cooking in batches. Cook for 5-7 minutes, tossing the kale chips every few minutes to prevent burnt chips.
Notes
Dry the kale all the way and go light on the oil. Wet or greasy kale just steams instead of crisping. Store any leftovers loosely in a paper bag on the counter, not a sealed container, and air fry them for another minute to crisp back up. They're best the day you make them.
