Foodie Friday: Spicy Roasted Kale

Here's another quick side dish that's super healthy: Spicy Roasted Kale. You'll need some kale, some cayenne pepper, olive oil and some salt and pepper. That's all!

Heat your oven to 375 degrees and pull out a casserole dish. Pile in 4 cups of kale - I used the quick and easy bagged kind for this recipe, but you can cut up kale leaves if you'd like to do that work. Pour about 2 Tablespoons of olive oil over the kale and mix it up so that the oil covers most of the kale. (The olive oil is good for your hands!)

If you like spicy things, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cayenne over the whole mixture - use a little less if you're not a spicy person. Then sprinkle salt and pepper over the kale as well. Mix this together again to spread out the spices.

Pop it into the oven and leave it for five minutes. The picture to the right is how it looks after having cooked 5 minutes - about half the size of what you started with. Take some tongs and mix it up a little to stir up the spices. Pop it back in the oven again for another 5 minutes and you're done!
