Ingredients
  

6 cups fresh spinach leaves (thoroughly washed and dried)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes for an extra kick

Instructions
 

Prepare the Spinach: Begin by preheating your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Make sure your spinach leaves are completely dried, as excess moisture can prevent them from turning crispy. You can use a salad spinner or gently pat the leaves dry with paper towels.

    Season the Leaves: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried spinach leaves with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if you like a bit of spice). Toss all the ingredients together thoroughly, ensuring that each leaf is uniformly coated with the seasoning mixture.

      Incorporate the Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the seasoned spinach. Using your hands, gently toss the mixture again to ensure the cheese adheres to the leaves without tearing them apart.

        Air Fry the Chips: Arrange a single layer of the seasoned spinach in the basket of your air fryer. Depending on your air fryer's capacity, you may need to cook in multiple batches. Air fry the spinach chips for approximately 4-5 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking. Keep a close eye on them, as they can go from perfectly crispy to burnt in no time.

          Check for Crispiness: After 5 minutes, check to see if the chips are crispy. If not, continue air frying for another 1-2 minutes, monitoring them closely. Repeat this step with any remaining spinach mixture.

            Cool and Serve: Once the chips are crispy, carefully transfer them from the air fryer to a wire cooling rack. Allow them to cool for a few minutes, which will help maintain their crunchiness. Serve these delightful chips immediately as a healthy snack or alongside your favorite meal for an added crunch.
