CRISPY ROASTED KALE

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 bunches curly kale (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1/4 cup good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fleur de sel

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange 3 oven racks evenly spaced in the oven.
  • Lay each kale leaf on a board and, with a small sharp knife, cut out the hard stem. Tear large leaves in half. Place the kale in a large bowl of water and wash it well. Drain the kale and dry it in a salad spinner. Dry the bowl, and put the kale back in the bowl.
  • Toss the kale with the olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Divide the kale among 3 sheet pans or roast them in batches. If you put too much kale on one pan, it will steam rather than roast and will never become crisp. Roast for 15 minutes, until crisp. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and serve hot.

CRISPY SPICED KALE

This was the result of a happy mistake. My intention was to make a pakora, a sort of kale fritter, but when I spooned my mixture into the hot oil it fell apart. What I got were irresistible, crispy, battered pieces of chopped kale. The spicy chips beat any kale chips I've ever made in the oven. Serve as a side dish or as a snack; I can't imagine children not liking this.

Time 30m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups roughly chopped curly kale (about 1/2 bag or 1 small bunch, stemmed)
1 bunch scallions chopped (about 1/3 cup)
1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
Salt to taste
1 cup chickpea flour
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for sprinkling
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon cold sparkling water
Canola oil or grapeseed oil for frying

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine kale, scallions, spices and salt.
  • In another bowl whisk together chickpea flour, cornstarch, salt and baking powder. Whisk in the sparkling water. Mixture should have consistency of thick cream. Scrape into bowl with kale mixture and combine thoroughly.
  • Pour oil into a wok or wide saucepan to a depth of 3 inches and heat over medium-high heat to 360 to 375 degrees. Set up a sheet pan with a rack on it next to the pan. Cover the rack with a few layers of paper towels. Have a spider or deep fry skimmer handy for removing the kale from the oil.
  • Take up the kale mixture by the heaped tablespoon and carefully slide into the hot oil. The mixture should break apart into small pieces. Fry until golden, which shouldn't take much more than a minute, using the spider to flip the pieces over or press them down into the oil once so that all of the batter gets crisped. Using the spider, remove from the oil, allowing excess oil to drip back into the pan, and drain on the towel-covered rack. Sprinkle with salt if desired. Allow to cool slightly and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right kale: Look for kale with dark, hearty leaves. Avoid kale that is wilted or has yellow or brown spots.
  • Wash the kale thoroughly: Kale can be gritty, so it's important to wash it thoroughly before cooking. Rinse the kale under cold water and shake it dry.
  • Remove the stems: The stems of kale can be tough and fibrous. Remove the stems before cooking by holding the kale leaf at the base and running a knife down the center of the stem.
  • Massage the kale: Massaging the kale with a little olive oil helps to soften the leaves and make them more tender. Simply place the kale in a large bowl and massage it with your hands for a few minutes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking kale, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the kale from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Cook the kale until it is tender: Kale should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked kale will be mushy and bland.
  • Season the kale to taste: Season the kale with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Crispy spiced kale is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger meal. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals, and it's also a good source of fiber. With its crispy texture and flavorful spices, crispy spiced kale is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
