Roasted kalettes are a simple vegetable side made by roasting kalettes at high heat until the edges are crispy and the centers are tender. This easy oven method brings out their natural sweetness with minimal ingredients.
Rinse the kalettes and dry them very well. Trim off any tough stems or damaged leaves. A salad spinner works well for drying.
Add the kalettes to the sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil until evenly coated.
Season with salt and black pepper and toss.
Spread the kalettes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are crisp and lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and finish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if using. Serve immediately.
Notes
Drying the kalettes thoroughly helps them roast instead of steam.Check at 10 minutes, as smaller kalettes can cook quickly.Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer.
