kale

We all know they're good for us — but sometimes you just need a little extra inspiration.

This recipe is inspired by cookbook author Hetty McKinnon’s ingenious sheet pan noodle technique and influenced by the flavours of khao soi, a Thai dish known for its contrast in textures. Roasting the noodles in the oven allows the top surface to crisp up, while the layer below stays tender and moist. —Lindsay Guscott

The next time you're craving something with crunch, reach for the vegetable crisper.

All the nutritional value, without the fibrous (extra chewy) bits.

Lacinato kale is also called black, dino or Tuscan kale. Its leaves are smaller and more delicate than regular curly kale's. Either type works for this recipe.
