Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  2. In a large bowl, combine kale pieces, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast. Toss well to coat.
  3. Place the kale in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches.

  5. Remove from the air fryer and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Pro tips for maximum crisp

  • Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
