Notes

  • There are many different colors and types of kale. This simple recipe will work with green kale and all types or colors of kale, as well as all types of flavors.
  • Even though the cooked kale shrinks down quite a bit, don't eat all of it in one sitting. Kale has a HIGH fiber amount, and it may cause stomach issues if eaten in excess.
