Notes & Wine Advice
Recipe Notes
Dry the kale thoroughly after washing it. Excess moisture can steam the leaves instead of making them crisp. Massage the tahini mixture into the kale with your fingers. This coats the leaves more evenly and helps the sesame seeds and seasoning stick. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cooking the kale in batches allows the hot air to circulate and produces crispier chips. Check the kale regularly near the end of cooking because thin leaves can brown quickly. Afterward, let the chips cool completely before storing them in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.Wine Advice
A crisp Sauvignon Blanc pairs nicely with the nutty tahini and sesame. Its fresh acidity also provides contrast to the savory kale and spicy red pepper flakes.Nutrition values
