Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 large bunch kale curly or lacinato, stems removed, leaves chopped, about 8 cups
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- ½ lemon juiced
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the kale and stir to coat in the oil and garlic. Using tongs, sauté for 5–7 minutes, tossing constantly, or until the kale softens and turns deep green.
- Add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and turn off the heat. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the kale, and stir just before serving.
Notes
My Top Tip: Watch the garlic closely. If it starts browning before the 1–2 minutes are up, add the kale right away and lower the heat if needed.
Storage: Store leftover sauteed kale in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave until warmed through.
