Oh lookie it’s a savory recipe!

Yes I know it must seem like I only consume sweet things, but the real issue is I only consume sweet things for breakfast.

And that’s when I’m able to snap photos this time of year.

It’s still a bit dark and dreary out here in Seattle.

Sigh.

So yeah I forced down beans and kale for breakfast, whoopie.

Not going to lie, I would have preferred to blend up a creamy chocolate shake…

But let’s be honest, who really wants to see another smoothie-ish recipe?

Well, personally I wouldn’t mind all that much, but variety is the spice of life.

Apparently.

If you prep your kale ahead of time, this recipe only takes about 10 minutes!

Which is perfectly doable in the morning.

For some people, at least.

(Hopefully.)

Ha. Ha. But who am I trying to kid?

This recipe is really best for lunchtime or even a light dinner.

You can crisp up some tempeh on the stove to add a bit more heft to this dish if you’re a hungry girl.

Or boy.

Or human in general.

And if you’re trying to get more dark greens in your life, this recipe is definitely the way go!

(Roasted kale, is the best kale. Believe me.)

All you have to do is crisp up some funky dino kale aka lacinato kale in the oven with a bit of olive oil, saute bright green broccoli, toss in a handful of creamy cannellini beans, then mix everything together with your fave BBQ sauce (I use Organicville Organic Original BBQ Sauce) and some fresh ground black pepper, to taste.

Now is the time to grab a big bowl and get to it!

P.S. Don’t have cannellini beans on hand? Chickpeas will work in a pinch.

P.P.S. The BBQ sauce might splatter everywhere (and I mean everywhere) when it hits the hot pan. So basically, please refrain from rocking your fresh white fit while whipping this up. While were on the topic of BBQ sauce, make sure your sauce is actually vegan and/or gluten-free if you’re going that route.

P.P.P.S. I didn’t add salt, but you certainly could! I’m just slightly sensitive to the stuff and don’t enjoy harboring an insatiable thirst.

P.P.P.P.S. “1 small bunch” of kale isn’t super specific, I know. But the ingredient amounts don’t need to be precise for this recipe to work out. Just adjust the oil and sauce accordingly. You can do it.

P.P.P.P.P.S. I had quite the time selecting a photo for this recipe… the top photo is from my iPhone 6s and the bottom is from a real deal camera. Both aren’t very cute. C’est la vie.
