Instructions
Prep the Kale
Remove tough stems from kale and tear leaves into bite-sized pieces. Rinse under cold water but do not dry completely as the residual water helps steam the kale.
Microwave Kale
Place damp kale in a large microwave-safe bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes until wilted and bright green.
Season and Serve
Carefully uncover the steaming kale and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Toss with minced garlic, season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
