Tips For Making The Best Kale Chips:

Make sure to dry your kale leaves before cooking. You can do this by leaving the washed or torn pieces of kale out on a towel for about an hour, or for a quicker solution use a salad spinner.

Do not overcrowd the leaves. Overcrowding will not help them get cooked properly which will result in not crispy or burnt kale chips.

Use an air fryer basket liner for easy clean up. I buy mine from Amazon and use them for most of the air frying that I do.
