For a tangy take on kale chips, try salt and vinegar. The vinegar evaporates during cooking, leaving behind a sharp, bright flavor. The full recipe and air frying instructions are on this page.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch curly kale, stemmed and torn into pieces
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps
- 01Wash and dry the kale thoroughly.
- 02Toss with oil AND vinegar. Massage into the leaves for 30 seconds.
- 03Season with salt and garlic powder.
- 04Ready for the air fryer. Cook in batches.
The vinegar evaporates during cooking, leaving behind the tangy, sharp flavor without any sogginess. Massage the vinegar in at the same time as the oil so it penetrates the waxy leaf surface. The result tastes remarkably similar to salt and vinegar potato chips, with a fraction of the calories.
