Air-Fryer Kale Chips
Homemade kale chips are incredibly easy to make.
Warning: These will go fast!
Plus, they require just cauliflower, Parmesan cheese and seasonings to make!
Swap out the Italian seasoning for ranch seasoning or your favorite spice blend for a different flavor profile.
Air-fry, then dip into honey- or vanilla-flavored yogurt.
These chips can be enjoyed as-is or dressed up with seasoning.
Simply toss baked potato peel chips with seasoning immediately after removing them from the oven.
(If you season before baking, the spices may burn.)
The only trick is to season them right awaythe seasonings will not adhere well once the chips have cooled.
