Meatless Monday: Crispy Sesame Kale
With each Meatless Monday, I realize the need to plan ahead if I am to make it through the entire day without eating meat. So, here I am today, Sunday, looking through vegan cookbooks for a few quick and easy recipes that I can pack up and take with me tomorrow as I hustle between clients, meetings and appointments.
I love kale and eat it several times a week alternating between boiling or sauteing it with onions, garlic and or red pepper. This recipe caught my attention because it calls for baking the kale. Check it out:
Ingredients:
1 bunch of kale, washed and deveined
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1 pinch of sea salt
Preparations:
Preheat oven to 375
Tear kale into bite-size pieces and spread it out evenly on a cookie sheet covered in foil
Drizzle oil on top, then scrunch kale with your fingers to distribute the oil evenly
Sprinkle the sesame seeds and salt on top
Bake for 10 minutes until the leaves are crispy but still dark green and serve
Told you it was easy!
