4. Chicken Kale Wraps
These chicken kale wraps are a great low-carb alternative to meals like tacos or sandwiches. Balsamic-marinated chicken breast is sauteed in a little olive oil, and then wrapped up in a big kale leaf with some diced mango and squash and secured with a toothpick. Then, the little packages are steamed for a minute or two to soften up the kale. Dig in and enjoy!
5. Mustard Crusted Tofu with Kale
This is a simple way to make bland tofu more exciting. Simply spread slices of firm tofu with grainy dijon mustard, and pan fry in a touch of olive oil. Serve over a bed of sauteed onion, ginger, kale, and sweet potato, all spritzed with lime juice. Check out this recipe for mustard crusted tofu for more details.
6. Kale Chips
Sometimes, you need a crunchy, salty snack. Put down the potato chips – there’s a new chip in town. Kale chips are super easy to make, and super satisfying to eat. Just toss torn kale leaves with salt and olive oil, and spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at low heat (around 275 degrees F) until crispy, and chow down!
