Sautéed Kale ~ A Healthy Side Dish
Sautéed Kale is as easy as it gets. It’s a healthy, colorful vegetable that is extremely popular, probably because it is incredibly dense in nutrients. And guess what? There is a bonus if you grow your own kale when the pretty little yellow flowers bloom….those are edible too!

For a fast, healthy crunchy snack, remove the kale leaves from the center spine and break them into smaller pieces. Toss kale pieces in a bowl with olive oil and salt and pepper. Lay single-layered in an air fryer and cook for about 4 minutes at 375. Shake the pan a couple of times for even cooking.
I like to add chopped kale to my stir-fry dishes and vegetable soup. It doesn’t alter the flavor and adds an abundance of nutrients!
Enjoy!
