Spicy Cereal Mix

Crispy Roasted Kale

Curly kale is excellent for roasting. The tender leaves become crisp and crunchy when dressed in a light mixture of olive oil and kosher salt. Be sure to place the kale in one layer on the sheet tray—overcrowding will steam the kale rather than crisp it.

Frozen Yogurt Dots
