Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 400º
Place oven rack at highest position.
If kale is whole, trim away stems and tear into bit'ish sized pieces.
If you're unsure how much kale to use do the following.
Set out your sheet pan.
As you're trimming and tearing the kale, place onto the sheet pan until just a bit crowded, but in a single layer.
Place kale from sheet pan into a large bowl.
Add olive oil and salt.
Toss with rubber spatula or the like.
The kale should be lightly coated with olive oil.
Put kale back onto sheet pan and arrange in a single layer.
Place into oven and time 8 minutes.
After 8 minutes inspect kale by touching/moving a few pieces with a fork, tongs, etc.
You're listening/feeling for a crisp sound/look.
If the kale is still limp, put back into oven for 30, 60, 90 seconds and check again.
Be diligent though, cus the kale will go from done to overdone very quickly.
Once done remove from oven.
If using as a side dish, grate some fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano onto chips after removing from oven.
An average sized sheet pan makes about 3-4 servings. |
