- 1 medium head of green cabbage (approximately 1 pound)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil for a higher smoke point)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional for a cheesy flavor without dairy)
Pro Tip: For purple cabbage chips, substitute green cabbage with purple cabbage for more antioxidants and a vibrant color that kids love!
Timing
- Prep Time: 10 minutes (includes washing and slicing cabbage)
- Cooking Time: 8-10 minutes
- Total Time: 20 minutes
This recipe saves approximately 30 minutes compared to oven-baked cabbage chips, which typically require 45-50 minutes of baking time. The air fryer’s efficiency means you’ll be snacking sooner!
Step 1: Prepare the Cabbage
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it into quarters. Carefully slice out the core from each quarter. Using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, cut the cabbage into thin, uniform slices (about 1/8 inch thick). For the crispiest chips, ensure your slices are consistent in thickness.
