Braised Kale

• 1 tsp ground thyme
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF

4. Mix in the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and seasonings.
5. Place in the oven and allow it to roast for 30-40 minutes, stirring halfway through
6. Wait for your roasted vegetables to be about 10-15 minutes away from being fully cooked and then prepare your braised kale ingredients.
7. In a large-medium skillet, heat the olive oil on high and add the garlic. Cook it until it is very fragrant, about a minute or two.
8. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the kale, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar. Stir together with tongs or a wooden spoon.
9. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 10 minutes, be careful not to overcook the kale. The leaves should be a rich green color and lightly wilted.
