Roasted Kale

You can slice up some collard greens or Swiss chard as a substitute for kale, or mix them all together for a tasty medley. Both vegetables are part of the cruciferous family and are packed full of cancer-fighting phytonutrients.

INGREDIENTS | SERVES 2

6 cups kale

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon sea salt

  • Preheat oven to 375ºF.

  • Wash and trim kale by pulling leaves off the tough stems or running a sharp knife down the length of the stem.

  • Place leaves in a medium-size bowl; toss with olive oil and garlic powder.

  • Roast for 5 minutes; turn kale over and roast another 7–10 minutes, until kale turns brown and becomes paper thin and brittle.

  • Remove from oven and sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately.
