Frequently Asked QuestionsBoth kale andBrussels sproutsare cruciferous vegetables, and since Kalettes are a hybrid of the two, they also fall into this category. Cruciferous veggies in general are packed with nutrition and health benefits—from lowering inflammation and fighting cancer to reducing heart disease risk and boosting bone health. According to theUSDA, Kalettes are rich in vitamin K and vitamin C. They also offer some protein, fiber, calcium, iron, vitamin B6 and vitamin A.Serve this simple side dish with pasta, such asBurrata Pasta with Cherry Tomatoes & Spinach,Super Green Pasta,Linguine with Creamy Mushroom SauceorSpinach Ravioli with Artichokes & Olivesand a side salad to round out the meal.Thebest technique for roasting vegetableslike Kalettes is to roast them at higher temperatures so that the natural sugars caramelize. For perfectly roasted Kalettes that are browned and crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, roast them at 475°F in the lower third of your oven.

- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
