Ingredients for Barefoot Contessa S Foolproof Crispy Roasted Kale

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• Fresh Ground Black Pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel (optional)

How to Make Barefoot Contessa S Foolproof Crispy Roasted Kale

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position 3 oven racks evenly spaced.
2. Lay each kale leaf flat on a cutting board and carefully remove the tough stems using a small sharp knife.
3. Tear the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces.
4. Wash the kale thoroughly in a large bowl of cold water.
5. Drain the kale completely. Use a salad spinner for best results.
6. Pat the kale dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
7. In a large bowl, toss the kale with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
8. Divide the kale evenly among 3 large baking sheets. Avoid overcrowding; kale should be in a single layer.
9. Roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the kale is crispy and slightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
10. Remove from oven and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel (optional).
11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
