Total Time 30 minutes mins
- 16 ounces kale chopped small
Fill a large stainless steel bowl 1/3 full with ice. Add water to 2/3 full. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Carefully stir in kale. Cook for 2 1/2 minutes. Drain in large colander. Place colander in ice water. Let set until kale is cool to the touch, about 5 minutes.
Remove colander from ice water and allow kale to thoroughly drain (place in clean kitchen towel and wring dry if desired). Place kale on small baking sheet or large plate. Place sheet in freezer and allow to freeze overnight, or for 6 hours.
Remove kale from sheet and place in freezer-safe zipper bag, breaking into small chunks or individual leaves as needed. Freezer for 8-12 months, using as desired.
