Roasted Kale Recipe

If you read Platter Talk regularly, you probably have tuned into the fact that we are not exactly health food fanatics. You likely also know that we are not necessarily opposed to promoting healthy eating and in fact, every once in a while we sneak in a good-for-you recipe or food idea. To be fair, we have made quite a few healthy recipes here in the past and some have even featured kale.  And so it was, a few weeks ago when we made this delicious Winter Garden Vegetable Soup.

Winter Garden Vegetable Soup, Garnished with Roasted Kale

The soup recipe uses just a handful of different vegetables, including kale. I had so much of the dark, green and leafy power food leftover that I decided to try something new to me. Enter, this Roasted Kale Recipe and be still my beating heart.

For This Roasted Kale Recipe

• Chopped baby kale

• Fresh garlic slices

• Kosher salt

• Extra-virgin olive oil

• Aged balsamic vinegar

Using the leftover chopped baby kale, I tossed it in some olive oil, added some fresh garlic slices and kosher salt and then roasted it in a hot oven. All slathered in a aged balsamic vinegar. The results were stunningly delicious. Crispy, sweet and green, it was almost inconceivable that this Roasted Kale Recipe is also good for you. As a plus, for the Winter Garden Soup that we put together, it made for an excellent garnish, in lieu of bread or crackers. Get your healthy green on, with this Roasted Kale Recipe.
