A quick and flavorful sautéed kale dish with garlic, olive oil, parmesan, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. A nutritious and elegant side ready in minutes.

Ingredients

1 large bunch kale (about 1 pound / 454 g), stems removed

2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil

8 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 ounce (28 g) freshly grated parmesan cheese

Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Wash kale thoroughly, dry well, and remove tough stems. Tear leaves into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly golden, stirring often.
  4. Add kale and toss to coat in garlic oil. Cook 5–7 minutes until wilted and tender.
  5. Season with salt and red pepper flakes. Remove from heat.
  6. Top with parmesan cheese and drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.

Notes

For a citrusy finish, use lemon juice instead of balsamic glaze.

Add toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds for crunch.

For more creaminess, stir in butter along with olive oil.

Best served fresh, but can be stored up to 3 days in the fridge.
