Roasted root vegetables are a staple on my dinner table at this time of year. But at one of my recent dinner parties, I had tons of kale from the farmers market and came up with the idea of tossing the kale on top of the roasted vegetables. It was a total hit!
The crispy kale “chips” jazzed up the roasted vegetables. I promise this is another easy, lazy girl’s side dish winner! It’s also a great make-ahead dish as it keeps well for days in the refrigerator. So make a big batch and enjoy all week!
