Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 limes, juiced
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 2 (13.5 ounce) cans coconut milk
• 2 bunches kale, leaves separated, stems discarded
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place kale into marinade and press down to ensure all leaves are covered. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours.

Step 2

Heat coconut milk in a small saucepan over low heat until lukewarm, about 5 minutes; pour into a large glass bowl. Stir in lime juice, paprika, sea salt, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes until marinade is smooth.

Step 3

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove kale from marinade and shake off excess; discard remaining marinade.

Step 4

Working in batches, grill kale leaves in a single layer on the preheated grill until edges are slightly crispy and centers are soft, 45 to 60 seconds per side.
