GF Sautéed Kale

Garlic and olive oil are good with anything and kale is no exception. The key to this recipe is striking the right balance of softening the kale completely but not crisping it. I worked from this Bobby Flay recipe.

GF Sautéed Kale

1 bunch of kale
4 Tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup Swanson chicken broth (or another GF broth)
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper

Heat oil in a sauce pan over medium. After 2-3 minutes add the garlic and sauté until golden brown. Add the kale, chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Be careful adding the chicken broth as it will splatter as it mixes with the oil. Toss the kale well to coat. Allow to sauté for 5-10 minutes or until kale is soft but not crispy.

GF Kale Chips

Kale chips are a crunchy, creative side dish.

Kale Chips

1/2 bunch of kale, washed and dried
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Break kale leaves into chip sizes and place in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Add seasoning and toss to distribute evenly. Lay out in a single layer on a thin cookie sheet. Bake at 350* for 10-15 minutes or until crisp.
