Can I use other greens like kale or romaine?

Oh honey, I've tried - and trust me, stick with radicchio. Those delicate greens wilt into sad, burned bits faster than you can say nucleation. Radicchio's sturdy structure holds up to baking while still getting perfectly crisp. It's the Goldilocks of greens for this recipe.

Are these keto-friendly?

Absolutely, With just 3g net carbs per serving, these crisps are a keto dream come true. That beautiful bitterness comes from natural compounds, not carbs. I keep batches on hand for when chip cravings strike during my low-carb phases. If you are interested in other low-carb options, check out our easy pepperoni chips recipe .

Why did my crisps turn out soggy?

Two likely culprits: either the leaves weren't bone-dry before baking (I'm talking Sahara-desert dry), or you got overzealous with the olive oil. Remember - we're coating, not drowning. A light massage with just enough oil to make them glisten is all you need for that perfect crisp. Understanding the science behind why air fryer chips get soggy can help prevent this.
