Tips for Perfectly Roasted Kalettes

Dry the Kalettes Completely: After washing the kale sprouts, pat them down dry with a paper towel. This will ensure that they roast instead of steaming.

Spread Them Out: Avoid overcrowding the sheet pan/baking sheet by arranging the kalettes in a single layer. This will help with them become crispy.

Roasting Temperature: The ideal oven temperature for crispy vegetables without burning is 425F.

Experiment with Seasonings: Feel free to add variety to your roasted kale sprouts by using lemon zest, chili flakes, or nutritional yeast.
