A simple yet flavorful preparation of lacinato kale charred to perfection on the grill. This recipe transforms hearty kale leaves into crispy, smoky side dish with just olive oil and salt.
Ingredients
- •2 bunches lacinato kale

Strip away and discard the stems of the kale. Tear the leaves into large bite-size pieces and toss them with the olive oil and a good pinch of salt.

Cook the leaves briefly over a medium fire seasoned with chunks of maple or oak. They will begin to burn and sizzle almost immediately. This is a good thing. Resist the temptation to turn them; the burn is good; the burn is your friend. After 4 to 5 minutes, turn them once to give a slight char to the wilted leaves that have been on top. Cook for another minute or two, and then remove them from the grill. That's it. Serve immediately.
