Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Rinse and drain the 1 can chickpeas. Pat dry with a towel. Remove stems from the 1 bunch kale and tear leaves into bite-size pieces.

  2. Step 2

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium. Add chickpeas and 1 tsp curry powder. Cook, stirring, until chickpeas are golden and crisp, about 8 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add the kale to the skillet with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp curry powder, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat.

  4. Step 4

  5. Step 5

    Serve warm, with extra lemon wedges if desired.
