Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1 cup frozen chopped kale, defrosted and drained
  • Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
  • 1 can (8 oz.) Immaculate Baking Company Organic Crescent Rolls
  • Sprinkle of Flour
  • ½ cup roasted red pepper, diced
  • ½ cup shredded cheese of choice (I used Monterey Jack, but white cheddar or mozzarella would work.)
Instructions
  1. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or line with a silicone baking sheet or parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Once hot add garlic and sauté for about a minute.
  4. Add kale and continue to saunté with the garlic for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. Remove from heat and transfer to a medium mixing bowl to cool.
  7. While the kale is cooling, unroll the dough and separate into two large rectangles.
  8. Pinch and seal the perforations in the dough.
  9. Sprinkle the rectangles with flour and use a rolling pin to smooth out the dough.
  10. Once the kale has cooled slightly, add the roasted red pepper and cheese to the bowl and stir to combine.
  11. Evenly divide the kale mixture between the two rectangles of dough. Spread to the edges.
  12. Gently roll each piece of dough along the long side and place seam side down on prepared baking sheet.
  13. Freeze dough rolls for about 30 minutes.
  14. Preheat oven to 375 F.
  15. Remove from freezer and slice each roll into 8 slices for a total of 16 slices.
  16. Place slices on the baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  17. Bake for 11-14 minutes or until golden brown.
  18. Remove from oven and let cool for about 2 minutes before removing from baking sheet.
  19. Enjoy!
