8 ounces cremini mushrooms, stems removed and quartered
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 425°F. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss mushrooms with oil and salt. Roast until the mushrooms are tender and caramelized about 15 to 18 minutes, tossing halfway. On another sheet tray, toss kale with oil and salt. Roast for 4 to 6 minutes, until crisp.
