Jamaican Kale Recipe: Flavorful, Healthy & Easy

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil provides healthy fats and a similar cooking profile.

scotch bonnet pepper

🥗Healthier: jalapeño

💰Cheaper: habanero

Jalapeños are milder and more accessible while still adding heat.

vegetable broth

🥗Healthier: homemade broth

💰Cheaper: water

Homemade broth is healthier and can be made with scraps.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Lemon juice offers a similar acidity and brightness.

Wash and drain the kale.

Add olive oil to a pot and heat it up.

Add natural seasoning to the hot oil and let them sizzle for a few minutes to release their flavors.

Add complete seasoning and black pepper to the pot and stir to distribute the flavors.

Once the kale is added, don't worry about the pot being too full as it will shrink when it releases water.

When the kale starts to shrink, add salt to taste and toss the vegetables to distribute the flavor.

Add shredded carrot when the kale is almost cooked to keep it crunchy.

Serve the kale with green bananas and sardines.
