How to Make Oven Roasted Kale

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse 1 bunch (about 1 pound) of kale thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Remove and discard the thick stems from the kale leaves. Roughly chop the leaves.
  4. Pat the chopped kale dry again with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving crispy kale.
  5. In a large bowl, toss the kale with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 cloves of minced garlic.
  6. Spread the kale in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. If you have a lot of kale, it's okay to slightly overlap the leaves.
  7. Bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until the leaves are tender, crisp on the edges, and slightly browned.
  8. Remove from oven and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds and a pinch of sea salt (start with 1/4 teaspoon and add more to taste).
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
