Kale

One of the Healthiest Foods

Kale is PACKED with nutrients like manganese, calcium, iron, and vitamins like A, K, and C PLUS it even has some protein. Throw in a good dose of fiber and you've got one heck of a great fat burning food.

Roasted Kale

4 cups packed kale
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. sea salt

Preheat oven to 375°. Strip the stems off the kale. Toss with the olive oil. Roast for five minutes, turn the kale over, then bake it for another 8 to 10 minutes. It is done when it is brown and brittle. Salt and serve immediately.

Kale & Cranberries

2 pounds kale
1 tablespoon minced garlic
5 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup dried cranberries

Strip the ribs & stems from the kale. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (1 tsp salt per gallon) and cook the kale until it is crispy/tender, about 5 or 6 minutes. Drain then drop it into ice water to stop the cooking. Drain it again then set aside.

In the same pot, cook the garlic for about 30 seconds then add the remaining ingredients plus the kale. Toss continually until the kale is tender, about another 5 minutes or so.
