Ingredients

  • 1 bunch (about 10 oz) kale leaves (washed with stems removed)
  • 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300 Fahrenheit
  • Remove the kale leaves from their stems and tear them into large pieces. Add them to a big bowl.
  • Drizzle the oil and lemon juice onto the kale leaves. Use your fingers to massage the kale with the oil and soften its texture.

  • Sprinkle the cashew blend onto the kale and spread evenly.
  • Spread the kale on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
