You will love kale once you make this sauteed kale with olive oil and sea salt recipe. This is my #1 kale recipe that I make because it’s so easy and so good! Serve sautéed kale hot as a side dish or as a base for grilled chicken or roasted vegetables. Even my kids love it so you know it’s going to be delicious!
Destem and roughly chop or rip into bite size pieces. Wash the kale, giving it a spin in the salad spinner, or patting with a towel to remove excess water.
Add kale into a large skillet, along with olive oil and salt, stirring to fully coat the kale in olive oil.
Heat over medium high heat, stirring often for about 5-7 minutes or until kale wilts and is bright green. If you find that kale is starting to crisp or brown, reduce the heat to medium-low.
Remove from heat, taste and add additional salt if needed. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Holiday Cooking: If you are cooking for a crowd, or for the holiday table you might want to double or triple the recipe as the kale significantly wilts down.
