As a rule, roasting and greens don't usually appear in the same recipe. Most greens, under the barrage of intense dry heat, would simply disintegrate. But enter a sturdy, delectably chewy winter green like kale, and roasting has met its match.
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 4 as a vegetable side dish
INGREDIENTS
3 TB Extra-virgin olive oil (or a little more if necessary)
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 bunch kale, leaves stripped from the stems and chopped, stems reserved for another use
1 tsp fresh rosemary, minced (or 1/2 tsp dried)
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 400F.
Mix the olive oil and garlic in a cup.
Place the chopped kale in a large bowl, and pour in the garlicky olive oil. Stir to coat, and scrape leaves into a large baking dish. Sprinkle with rosemary, salt and pepper. Put the baking dish in the oven and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until leaves are tender and edges just beginning to crisp.
Serve, maybe topping with shredded Parmesan.
