    asabnis's Notes:

    This turns eating greens into just eating. Tough kale leaves become tender with crunchy edges, and studded with toasted sesame seeds. It's a simple side that's not short on flavor.

Serves 4

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

  2. Wash kale well. Remove and discard ribs. (I give them a bath in a full sink. And to quickly remove the ribs I fold the leaves in half and chop the rib out with one hack of a big knife.)

  3. Spread kale on a rimmed baking sheet in mostly one layer. A little crowding is okay.

  4. Drizzle kale with olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt. Bake in the middle of the 375 degree oven.

  5. While kale is baking, heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Toast raw sesame seeds, shaking to prevent burning. Remove from heat when fragrant and golden.

  7. Continue baking for 5-10 more minutes. Remove kale from the oven when the leaves are tender and the edges are crispy. Transfer kale to a serving dish and squeeze in some lemon juice.
