Just made my first batch of kale chips in the air fryer and they actually turned out good

I stopped by my local farmers market in Austin last weekend and grabbed a big bag of lacinato kale on a whim. Tossed it with a little olive oil and salt, then air fried at 350 for about 5 minutes until crispy. Honestly I was expecting a sad, burnt mess but they came out perfect with just a light crunch. Has anyone else tried making leafy greens in their air fryer without them flying around?

Tbh I was skeptical about kale chips too but now I'm totally converted after trying them myself.

Oh man, same thing happened to me. I was so sure I'd just be eating burnt leaf crumbs but they came out light and salty, almost like a better version of potato chips. I used the curly kale from H-E-B and had to shake the basket halfway through because some pieces were sticking to the top. That lacinato kale you used is probably the way to go since it's flatter, I'm definitely trying that next time I hit the farmers market.
