RANCH KALE CHIPS
Serves 6

Ingredients:
2 bunches of kale (about 6 cups)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup Ranch seasoning mix (purchased or see mix recipe below)

Ranch Seasoning Mix Ingredients:
1/2 cup dry buttermilk
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:

Remove the thick stem from the kale leaf and break kale into pieces.
If making your own Ranch seasoning mix, mix together the ingredients in a separate mixing bowl. Note: this will make more than you need, save the rest for later!
In a mixing bowl, toss the kale pieces together with olive oil and Ranch seasoning powder.
Transfer to an air fryer basket or baking sheet.
AIR FRYER: Air Fry at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes, toss and then air fry for another 5 minutes. OVEN: In a pre-heated oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit, bake for 10 minutes, toss and then back for another 5 - 10 minutes.
The key is continuing to air fry or bake until the kale is crispy!
