Wash and dry the kale. Trim off the bottom of the stalks and slice the kale horizontally, across the stalk, in 1 inch thick strips.

Place 4 cups chopped kale in a bowl and toss with 2 teaspoons olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Massage the kale with your hands to work the oil in and soften the kale a little.

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F and set the timer to 3 minutes.

Add the seasoned kale to the preheated air fryer and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from the air fryer and serve.
