not a fan of Kale except in a soup of Italian origin that is the only way I have found to make kale palatable for my taste. It has far to bitter a taste like many of the cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and brussel sprouts but other than that this looks great.
I find it to be bitter too but you would be surprised what that maple syrup can do! Its not overly sweet but pairs nicely with the bitterness of the kale.
