Equipment

  • Oven or air fryer (if using air fryer, I recommend cooking in batches (a 6- or 7-quart air fryer will take a 1/2 pound of kalettes))

Ingredients

  • 1 lb kalettes (aka kale sprouts)
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven or air fryer to 350 °F (175 °C).
  • Wash 1 lb kalettes (aka kale sprouts) thoroughly and shake dry.
  • Toss with 2 tbsp cooking oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and other seasoning of choice. Go in with your hands and really massage the oil and seasoning into the kalette leaves.
  • Oven: Arrange kalettes on a baking sheet, spaced apart. Don’t overcrowd the pan. Roast at 350 °F (see Note 1) for 12–14 minutes on the rack closest to the heating element.
  • Air Fryer: Tip kalettes onto the preheated air fryer tray. The kalettes can be touching each other, but don't let them overlap. Air fry at 350 °F for 7–8 minutes, shaking halfway.

Notes

  1. Kalettes can overcook easily in the oven. I use a thermometer to verify my oven temperature. If you don’t have an oven thermometer, you may have to adjust the cooking time depending on whether your oven runs colder or hotter.
