Best 8 Sauteed Tuscan Kale Recipes

CRISPY TUSCAN KALE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Remove the tough lower stems of the kale. Toss the kale generously with olive oil, salt and crushed red pepper.
• Lay the dressed leaves in a single layer on a sheet tray (use more than one if you need to!) and place in the oven. Roast the kale or until the leaves are crispy, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Serve as a snack or side dish.

SAUTEED TUSCAN KALE

Steps:

• 1. Wash and dry kale leaves thoroughly. Cut leafy greens into 1 inch sections. Discard any tough stems. 2. Heat olive oil and red pepper flakes in a medium saute pan over medium high heat until the oil shimmers, and the red pepper flakes start to sizzle. 3. Add the garlic. Working quickly, so the garlic does not burn, add the kale. (Some splattering and crackling of oil may occur from residual water on the kale.) 4. Using tongs, toss the kale in the pan for 2-4 minutes until the kale has wilted and cooked to desired tenderness. Keep the kale moving to avoid scorching any pieces. 5. Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. 6. Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese just before serving.
