I've never seen them in the store, but when I thinned the lacinato (dinosaur) kale I grew last year, the seedlings were tasty, similar to broccoli sprouts.

I wouldn't cook them, or at least not more than warming them through. Add to a stir fry at the end, or to a salad or sandwich.

I just picked up some kale spouts at my farmers' market. I rinsed them off and microwaved them in s single layer for 20-30 seconds while they're still damp.

you'll probably get more results if you search for recipes for "baby Kale" rather than kale sprouts.

The farmer's market I get them at recommends cutting them in half and roasting with some salt and olive oil at 350 until crispy - 10-20 min. They are AMAZING this way!
