1
Wash and Prepare Kale
Thoroughly wash the kale under cold water to remove any dirt or sand. Remove the tough stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
2
Chop Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.
3
Halve Cherry Tomatoes
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half.

4
Sauté Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5
Add Kale
Add the prepared kale to the skillet. Stir well to coat the kale in the garlic and olive oil. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the kale is wilted.
6
Add Tomatoes and Season
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes are slightly softened.
