Broccoleaf is the leaves of a broccoli plant, but it’s not the part we are used to eating. Glassman showed that you can stack and slice the leaves to get them to the size you will need. Broccoleaf contains Calcium, as well as Vitamins A and C.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch stemmed, chopped Broccoleaf (in 1/3” slices)
- 2 cloves grated Garlic
- 2 1/2 tbsp Water
- 1 tsp crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- 2 1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
- Salt & Pepper
Directions
- Heat a skillet on medium high heat and add olive oil.
- Cook garlic for one minute, long enough that it begins to brown.
- Stir in Broccoleaf.
- Add water. Cover the pan to steam for two or three minutes.
- Once it is bright green, finish with crushed red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
Keri Glassman: Rachael Ray Roasted Kalettes Recipe
“If Brussels sprouts and kale had a baby, they would make Kalettes,” Glassman explained. These are an alternative to Kale Chips, and they just might be a snack so delicious and nutritious that you will be hooked. Try phasing these in as a replacement for chips.
As an option, garnish with Blue Cheese. A small amount can really add flavor, Glassman pointed out.
Ingredients
- 1 bag Kalettes
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- Salt & Pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven at 450 F.
- Spread Kalettes on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast for about 11 minutes, until the edges are browned and crisp.
