This simple dish for sauteed kale is delicious, nutritious, and adaptable. Serve it as a side dish or include it in frittatas, grain bowls, pasta dishes, and other dishes!
It’s time to try sauteed kale if you’ve never done it before! It’s a flexible side dish that goes well with both a bowl of soup and a pile of pasta.
It takes less than 5 minutes to prepare and only calls for 6 ingredients, 3 of which are olive oil, salt, and pepper. It’s one of my go-to additions to quick evening pasta dishes, impromptu grain bowls, and other dishes because it’s so easy to make.
It also tastes great and is nutrient-dense as a bonus. Even though kale may not be as trendy as it was five years ago, this recipe for sauteed will always be a staple in my home.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS FOR SAUTEED KALE
In this straightforward recipe for sauteed, we’ll need 6 basic ingredients:
- Extra-virgin olive oil offers a deep flavor and aids in the kale’s wilting while cooking.
- This dish’s flavor is enhanced with the addition of garlic.
- Lemon juice – It adds a wonderful, bright shine to the robust kale.
- To bring out the flavors of everything, add sea salt and fresh black pepper.
- A big skillet with medium heat is used to heat the oil. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the kale wilts after adding the garlic, chopped kale, salt, and pepper. Squeeze some lemon juice over the kale after it has been removed from the heat. According to taste, add salt and pepper.
All done! Sprinkle everything bagel spice or crushed red pepper flakes over the cooked kale to change up the seasoning. Enjoy!

SERVING SUGGESTIONS ARE SAUTEED KALE
This sauteed recipe is a tasty, healthful side dish that goes great with almost any protein, pasta, or soup on its own. But it’s also a flexible cooking ingredient! Here are a couple of my preferred applications for it:
- the frittata. With sauteed and whatever additional veggies or herbs you choose, make a very-vegetable frittata. These little frittata muffins are delicious too!
- pasta is. Add your preferred pasta, marinara sauce, and Parmesan or vegan Parmesan cheese to it. Additionally, you may incorporate it into spaghetti Aglio e olio or pesto pasta. Not feeling like pasta? Additionally, it tastes great with spaghetti squash and sweet potato noodles!
- in a basin for grains. Make your bowl using the sautéed, grain like quinoa, farro, or brown rice, and a protein like baked tofu, tempeh, lentils, or roasted chickpeas, or add it to this buddha bowl or this veggie bowl. Add a delicious sauce, like tahini, peanut, chipotle, or cilantro lime dressing, to finish it off.
- in quesadillas or tacos. Add a few sauteed leaves to vegetarian tacos or quesadillas to give them a green boost.
- about pizza. It is wonderful, I assure you!

INSTRUCTIONS
- Chop or rip the kale leaves and remove the coarse sections of the stems.
- Over medium heat, warm the oil in a large skillet. Kale, garlic, salt, and pepper to taste are all added at this point. Kale should wilt after 2 to 4 minutes of sautéing and turning (I prefer to use tongs for this).
