Coconut Curly Crispy Kale
Daa Daa Daaaaa!!!!!
This is the official unveiling of my FAVORITE Kale creation! Despite all the kale recipes I have made, this is by far my favorite and should be tried by you instantly. There might be a few ingredients in here that you have never tried, i.e. Farro, but do not shy away my friends, this is recipe will be worth it, and… here is the kicker… it can be done in 30 minutes! You do not have to be an accomplished chef here, novice or expert, everyone can do this.
I must give thanks to my dearest chef mentor, Heidi Swanson, who has inspired this dish, as well as to the Kale farmer who inspired her. Pay it Forward.

Hi Kale Enthusiasts! My name is Lauren and I am a certified nutritionist but more importantly a nutrition nerd. My favorite things are farmer's markets, the ocean, my vitamix, stopping to smell the roses and most anything that comes straight from the ground. Welcome to my quest! 
Join me in my quest to find "The Holy Kale" of the health and wellness world. On this journey I will share with you the best way to feed your mind, body and soul so that you can be inspired to express your ultimate health! 
i love this can’t wait to try it.. not sure what Nama shayu is but I will find out.
Nama Shoyu is unpasteurized Soy Sauce. This is a fermented version of soy that, unlike regular soy, has tons of health benefits including aiding in digestive health.
Oh my goodness! This is a FABULOUS recipe. I just finished eating my first meal, and it was wonderful. Thank you and Heidi so much for this tasty, uber-healthy recipe.
Awesome! More to come!
Hi there – is tamari the same as nama shoyu? Just trying your recipe now! (With tamari…)
Yes – this is the same except the nama is unpasteurized, therefore containing the healthy bacteria still.
Also, when you say “2 large bunches”, how many grams is that approximately? We get our kale as individual leaves already torn apart, so you buy by the gram!
A large bunch means about 2 cups.
Final question – how many servings is this?!
