Ingredients

680 g kale

680 g potatoes

1 medium onion

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil salt and freshly ground pepper

8 chicken legs (280 g each)

1 teaspoon paprika

lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

Preheat oven to 220° c

Slice potatoes – aim for a medium thickness

Thinly slice onion

Rinse the kale

Add kale, onion and potato to roasting pan. Mix so the vegetables are evenly distributed. Set aside.

Cut chicken legs and sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika.

Place the chicken legs on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan.
