“Best when roasted” Kalettes
Kalettes are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed raw (washed of course) or cooked in a variety of ways; they can be roasted, sauteed or grilled – and they are "best when roasted"!
Ingredients
- 1 package Kalettes (300g or 454g)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475°F (250°C).
- Wash Kalettes; toss with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste; Spread evenly on a foil-lined baking sheet
- Roast in lower third of oven until just tender and browned in spots, about 8-10 minutes. Serve immediately.
Good morning 🙂
I love these kaletttes so much! Wondering how to best freeze them to last throughout the winter months?
Thanks for keeping us all healthy with your wonderful produce!
Kalettes can be blanched and frozen using general instructions found at https://bcfresh.ca/freeze-veggies-for-later/
We recommend blanching Kalettes for 2 – 3 minutes, or until the green in the leaves turns a bright green. Do not go over 3 minutes.
Can we do Kalettes in our new Ninja air fryer?
It has a max temp of 400F but works like a mini convection oven.
Thanks for the question! We’ve done Kalettes recipe testing using a Gourmia 7qt Air Fryer so I suspect the temp and timing will be similar. This recipe is for the 454g bag of Kalettes.
1. Preheat air fryer to 400F – if your air fryer has a timer, set it for 14 minutes with a reminder to turn at the 7-minute mark.
2. Wash and drain BCfresh Kalettes. Add Kalettes. olive oil, salt and fresh ground pepper to a large mixing bowl, toss to coat
3. Place Kalettes in air fryer basket and shake to ensure they are evenly distributed. Insert basket in air fryer.
4. At the 7-minute mark, take out the basket and shake the Kalettes to ensure all sides get crispy.
5. Remove from air fryer and serve immediately.
How long do Kalettes last in fridge once the bag is open?
Regarding shelf life, Kalettes are fairly durable vegetables when stored in the bag or in the crisper of your fridge. The product should last more than 2 weeks (although I’ve had bags in my fridge last for 30+ days).
With every type of fresh product, we recommend consumers use their senses when inspecting their produce.
When you open the bag give it a quick sniff to see if they smell really musty. As you rinse them, look for any squishy leaves or slimy butt ends, pull off the slimy leaves and trim the butts as needed. Minor browning on the butt is nothing to worry about, but trim as necessary. You may find the odd squishy leaf alone in the package, just discard those as you rinse in your colander.
When are you stocking the Costcos in Ontario? I’ve been waiting for the annual supply.
Hi Ruth,
The Kalettes harvest typically begins a week or two after Thanksgiving, they are slow growing and take quite a bit longer to mature than Brussels sprouts.
I’m happy to say this year’s crop is headed your direction shortly and should be available in Ontario locations about November 7th or 8th.
Thank you for supporting local family farms, and the produce they grow!
Hi, we just tried Kalettes and loved it. Do you have any info on the net carbs?
Hi Isla, thanks for the question! We’ve just sent you some Kalettes information via email, please check your junk if it does not arrive.
The Health Canada is incomplete at this time but we believe the carbs to be about 5g per 100g serving.
Hi, I’m having difficulty finding the Nutrition Facts for Kalettes. May you kindly email them to me? Thank you.

Hi.
I would like to know the time of year when the kelettes are distributed at Costco in Quebec?
I only visit this store sporadically and I would especially not want to miss the period when it is available.
Thanks
Jean-Claude,
Kalettes usually start up around mid October and go through December. The last Kalette order into Quebec arrived December 31st but this will be the last of the season. Not sure if the stores would still have some in stock or not. Hope that helps!
Kalettes are so delicious but sadly I can’t find them in my Costco store. When are they available.?
We’re sad to say Kalettes are done for the season. They are grown outdoors in Chilliwack and we plan to be done each year before the weather gets too cold.
When in season they can be found at Costco generally between October to January.
So addicted to kalettes! Are they available year round?
Chas,
Great to hear you’re enjoying our Kalettes! They are seasonal and unfortunately the season is coming to and end (they’re usually available October through to January). They’re still available now though so be sure to enjoy them while you can! Note, they can be blanched and frozen for later use.
Thanks for the reply! That’s too bad. Will be looking forward to them in the fall!
