Big-Batch Roasted Kale

This big-batch roasted kale is an essential addition to your weekly meal prep routine. By gently roasting the leaves with sliced garlic and a touch of steam, the kale achieves a wonderful texture that is tender in the centre with delightfully crisp, golden edges. It is a simple, savoury side dish that brings a vibrant hit of greens to any dinner table, whether served alongside roasted meats or stirred into a nutritious grain bowl.

As a heart-healthy option, this recipe relies on high-quality extra-virgin olive oil and minimal seasoning to let the natural flavour of the brassica shine. It is particularly practical for busy households, as it can be prepared up to a week in advance and kept in the fridge. Simply enjoy it cold in salads or reheat gently for a quick and nourishing weekday accompaniment.

Ingredients for Big-Batch Roasted Kale

  • 4 bunches curly kale (about 900g .), rinsed, ribs and stems removed, leaves torn into 1"–1 1/2" pieces

  • 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

  • 1 teaspoon (or more) kosher salt

  • 120ml plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

How to make Big-Batch Roasted Kale

Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 163°C. Toss kale, garlic, salt, and 120ml oil in a very large bowl. Divide between 2 rimmed baking sheets (it’s okay to pile it on; the kale will steam and wilt as it cooks). Pour 2 tablespoons water over each. Roast, rotating sheets and tossing halfway through, until leaves are tender and edges are crisped and slightly browned, about 20 minutes.

Transfer kale to a large bowl. Toss with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Taste and season with more salt, if needed.

Do Ahead: Kale can be made 1 week ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill.
