Ingredients

2 bunches Green Kale
1 tbsp avocado oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
Himalayan sea salt, to taste
1/2 lime, squeezed
1 tsp pure maple syrup

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Destem the kale and tear the leaves into large pieces. Wash and dry the leaves. Make they are well-dried for this recipe. Add the kale to a large mixing bowl with the avocado oil and massage the oil into the leaves with your hands until they’re soft and well-coated. Transfer the massaged kale to the baking sheet into an even layer. It’s OK for some of the pieces to be overlapping. Sprinkle the kale with the minced garlic and Himalayan sea salt, to taste. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the kale leaves are slightly crunchy on the edges. Stir the kale leaves at the halfway point. When the 15-20 minutes are up, remove the sheet pan from the oven and squeeze lime and drizzle maple syrup over the baked kale. Toss the kale with a spoon to mix the lime and maple syrup with the leaves. Serve the kale warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and reheat before serving. Recipe created by Flora & Vino
