Oven-roasted Kale

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 bunches kale
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 -3 large garlic cloves, minced
• sea salt
• fresh ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 375°f
• 2 rinse kale and pat dry thoroughly. remove and discard thick ribs and roughly chop leaves. pat leaves dry again.
• 3 toss with olive oil and garlic in a large bowl. (i actually put it all in a ziplock and shake it around really good).
• 4 spread on a large rimmed baking sheet. kale does not need to be in a single layer, as it will shrink in volume as it cooks.
• 5 bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring every five minutes or so, until leaves are tender, crisp on edges and slightly browned.
• 6 sprinkle with sesame seeds and a little sea salt before serving. note: taste before you put salt on it, as kale as a bit of a tangy/salty flavor already. it is very easy to overdo it with the salt in this recipe.
