Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Rinse the kale, remove the thick stems, and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, gently toss the kale with half the olive oil, a pinch of salt, 0.5 tsp smoked paprika, and 0.5 tsp garlic powder.
Place the kale in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking halfway through, until the edges are crispy.
Meanwhile, press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes. In a separate bowl, drizzle the tofu cubes with the remaining olive oil, and season with the remaining smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
Gently toss the chickpeas with a little salt and a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
Add the tofu cubes and chickpeas to the air fryer basket (if space permits, or cook in a separate batch) and air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the tofu is golden and slightly crispy and the chickpeas are roasted.
Once everything is done, plate the crispy kale chips as a base and top with the spicy tofu bites and roasted chickpeas.
Serve immediately and enjoy this crunchy, protein-packed twist on kale chips.
