Air Fryer Kale Chips with Parmesan
  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 280 degrees F (138 degrees C) following the manufacturer's instructions.

  2. 2

    Wash the kale and pull the leaves off the ribs. Dry the leaves thoroughly and tear them into pieces. Discard the ribs.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, combine the kale leaves and olive oil; use your hands to mix until the kale is evenly and lightly coated. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chile-lime seasoning and mix until evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Working in batches, place some kale in the preheated air fryer without overlapping. Cook for 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Shake the basket and air-fry for another 3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top to coat, shake, and air-fry until crispy, about 2 minutes more.

  7. 7

    Repeat with the remaining batches, watching the air fryer and keeping the temperature low.
