As some of you know, I started my very first vegetable garden this past spring. I got quite a bit of food out of it! One of the last and final crops holding on even through the Texas heat was a little bit of kale. I put it to good use with this Bacon and Kale Pizza, which is our new family favorite.
This pizza recipe is SUPER simple. It uses only 5 total ingredients, and takes under 30 minutes to throw together (assuming you have pizza dough already made). Thank you to my sister- and brother-in-law for the awesome inspiration for this recipe!
Here’s what makes the kale amazingly delicious. First, it’s sautéd in the bacon fat. Why? Because it’s the right thing to do, that’s why. Oh, and because adding fat to a bitter green like kale can make it taste less bitter (you can read more about this in my Massaged Kale Salad Recipe).
Second, it continues roasting in a super hot oven on top of the pizza, resulting in crispy crunchy pieces similar to kale chips. Honestly, I don’t know which is better- the crispy kale pieces or the crispy bacon pieces.
