Some Tips!*This dish is easier and makes for less clean up if an oven proof pot or dutch oven is used.*Make sure the kale is thoroughly washed.*I always like to add a bit more seasonings to taste. Like more red pepper or fennel and I LOVE garlic and onion. or anything you like. Don't be afraid to experiment with herbs and spices.*You don't need to let it bake for that long. You can always bake it for a little and then take out some of the liquid with a baster. Making healthy dishes easier, that's what its about, right?
**Kale is a superfood, so it's super health for you. It has antioxidants, vitamin A, fiber and calcium.
