Kale is known forbeing an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin A, manganese, and copper; a very good source of vitamin B6, fiber, calcium, potassium, vitamin E, and vitamin B2; and a good source of iron, magnesium, vitamin B1, omega-3 fats, phosphorus, protein, folate, and vitamin B3. Kale chips are a great alternative to regular chips when you get cravings for something crunchy!

      Did you use an Airfryer Lynda or did you bake them?

        Lynda Cook

        I baked them and I followed the recipe I had but it seemed like they were in the oven forever and when I took them out they still didn’t crisp, I don’t understand because everyone else seems to have no problems, I have an Actifry but I don’t think they would work in that either, I really need to save up my money because I would love to get that Phillips Airfryer

    Kale is the main part of our Christmas Eve celebration dinner. I’m not that fond of it but it’s edible, surprisingly enough all my children love it and now cook my recipe for their own families.

    Wow, I’ve never heard of any air fryer before. Usually I bake my kale chips, but they often cook unevenly. I guess this works similarly to my air-popper (which is really the ONLY way to make popcorn, it’s the best!).
    Thanks for sharing this recipe!

    With this new diet I am on for food sensitivities, I have a limited list of items I can eat. Kale is one of the few things and I am a muncher or grazer. I will try this and see how it turns out. Thanks.

    Thank you for the recipe. I made them, but they flew around in the air fryer, and got stuck to the heating element! I have the large, Avance air fryer. How did you keep the kale chips from flying around while cooking?

      Hi Ellen, that is very odd. I’ve never experience that before. Try tearing the kale up in larger pieces next time? Hope that helps!

        I was wondering the same thing and googled “air fryer fan sucking up kale chips” to see if anyone else had the same issue! I could hear the kale chips flying around the air fryer and when I checked on them halfway through a few kale pieces literally flew out of the oven at me.

      Melisa Iam no expert but I think if you use frozen you would have to defrost and pat dry very good before you put in air fryer.

    Do you think an air fryer would work to fry fresh spinach? I had some at a local restaurant and it was great. I tried to deep fry at home and it was way too greasy. If yes, would you do it the same way/time as kale?

FAQs

How do you keep kale chips crispy? ›

To keep them crispy, it is important to let them cool completely. Once cooled, they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. You could also try adding a few grains of raw rice or silica packs (like those found in store-bought kale chips) to the airtight container. & Perfect for snacking!

How to make kale chips Jamie Oliver? ›

Rinse and dry the kale leaves before removing most of the centre stalk, leaving long, thin pieces of kale. Toss the kale in the oil, then sprinkle with the sugar, cinnamon and ½ tablespoon of sea salt. Arrange the leaves in a single layer on a couple of baking trays and bake for 5 minutes, until crisp.

Why are my homemade kale chips bitter? ›

Do not use frozen kale. If your kale chips haven't reached that perfectly crispy status, just flip each piece over and put them back in the oven for a few more minutes. Don't turn up the heat. High heat can burn the kale and make it taste bitter.

Why did my kale chips get soggy? ›

Wash the kale leaves and then dry completely to avoid soggy chips. I recommend using a salad spinner or patting down leaves with a clean towel. Cut the stalks and thicker midribs from the leaves (they're too tough for chips) and discard.

What kind of kale is best for chips? ›

Any variety of kale – curly or flat – can be made into baked kale chips. Some home cooks prefer to use flat lacinato kale, aka "dinosaur" kale, so named for its leathery appearance, and some like the frilly appearance of curly kale. Try batches of both and see which you like best.

How healthy are homemade kale chips? ›

And unlike potato chips, kale retains its nutritional value when made into chips. Kale is high in fiber, antioxidants, vitamin A and calcium, as well as B vitamins, vitamin C and potassium. It's fat- and sodium-free, and the minuscule amounts of olive oil and salt used in my recipe barely bump up those amounts.

How does Gordon Ramsay make crispy chips? ›

Gordon Ramsay's chunky oven chips

Blanch in a large pan of boiling water for 3 mins, then drain well. Shake the potatoes out onto a roasting pan, drizzle with oil, ensuring each chip is evenly coated, then season well. Bake for about 15-20 mins, turning the potatoes at least twice, until golden brown and crisp.

What is the secret to kale chips? ›

To get perfectly uniform, crispy kale chips, the key is to bake them for longer, at a lower temperature. Baking kale chips at 300F for 20 to 25 minutes allows the vegetable to slightly dehydrate while it cooks, resulting in a perfectly crispy chip.

Can you eat too much kale chips? ›

Kale contains a large amount of fiber, which is great for digestion but can be dangerous if you eat too much. If you overeat on kale chips (or any food) then you may experience bloating, gas, and constipation due to the excessive intake of fiber.

Are kale chips anti inflammatory? ›

Kale Chips

Kale actually contains a phytochemical called beta carotene, which gets converted into vitamin A in the body. According to a 2021 study published in Frontiers in Nutrition, beta carotene displays antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may protect the gut lining and reduce intestinal inflammation.

Why are my homemade chips not crispy? ›

Why are my homemade chips not crispy? It's likely that too many chips were cooked at once (a crowded pan is never a good thing) and doing so means the temperature of the oil decreases, resulting in soggy, greasy chips.

Why are kale chips so expensive? ›

To top it off, kale chips are usually labeled as raw, which means in order to get them crispy they are dehydrated and that takes a looooong time. So we've got expensive ingredients + a long production process = $7 for a mini bag of kale chips!

Can I leave kale chips out overnight? ›

Storage. In my opinion, kale chips are crispiest and taste the best immediately after baking. However, if you have leftovers, my recommendation is to store them in an air-tight container at room temperature for 1-2 days. They will lose their crispiness, but will still taste delicious.

Can kale chips sit out? ›

Storage. In my opinion, kale chips are crispiest and taste the best immediately after baking. However, if you have leftovers, my recommendation is to store them in an air-tight container at room temperature for 1-2 days. They will lose their crispiness, but will still taste delicious.

How do you store kale chips long term? ›

Freezing for Long-Term Storage

To freeze kale chips: Ensure the chips are completely cool and dry. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to prevent clumping. Once frozen, transfer the chips to a vacuum-sealed bag, which will keep moisture and air out, extending their shelf life significantly.

Can you vacuum seal kale chips? ›

If you want to store your kale chips for longer than a week, you can do so by vacuum-sealing them. When stored like this, kale chips can last at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Whatever you do, don't refrigerate!

How do you reheat kale chips? ›

How to store & reheat baked kale chips. Homemade kale chips are best eaten the day they're made, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day if you have leftovers. You can warm them up in a 250ºF oven if you need to re-crisp them.
