I tried this tasty Whole Food's recipe for Oven Roasted Kale: Serves 4 as a side dish

Ingredients:

  • 2 bunches kale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2-3 large cloves garlic, minced
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F. Rinse the kale and pat dry thoroughly. Remove and discard the thick ribs and roughly chop the leaves. Pat leaves dry again. Toss with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl. 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. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring every five minutes or so, until the leaves are tender, crisp on the edges and slightly browned. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
