Braised Kale & Roasted Sweet Potatoes pair beautifully together! You can mix and match what other vegetables or proteins you want to throw in with your sweet potatoes. In this recipe, we used onions, chickpeas, and yellow squash but feel free to experiment with tempeh, radishes, carrots, or turnips. You can also serve this dish with a grain to make for a delicious grain bowl.

Ingredients

Serves: 3 Time: 45-50 minutes

Braised Kale

• 1 bunch of kale, rinsed, stems removed and chopped
• 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 1 Tbs apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 tsp olive oil

Roasted Sweet Potatoes

• 1 large sweet potato, cubed
• 1/2 yellow onion, diced
• 1 large yellow squash, cubed
• 1 can chickpeas, drained & rinsed
• Light drizzle of olive oil
• Splash of apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp ground thyme
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground mustard

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF
2. Begin preparing the vegetables to be roasted in the oven alongside your sweet potatoes.
3. Add the onion, squash, sweet potato, and chickpeas to a roasting pan or casserole dish.
4. Mix in the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and seasonings.
5. Place in the oven and allow it to roast for 30-40 minutes, stirring halfway through
6. Wait for your roasted vegetables to be about 10-15 minutes away from being fully cooked and then prepare your braised kale ingredients.
7. In a large-medium skillet, heat the olive oil on high and add the garlic. Cook it until it is very fragrant, about a minute or two.
8. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the kale, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar. Stir together with tongs or a wooden spoon.
9. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 10 minutes, be careful not to overcook the kale. The leaves should be a rich green color and lightly wilted.
10. Remove kale from heat once cooked and remove roasted vegetables from the oven. Serve together or alongside a grain such as quinoa, rice, or farro, and enjoy!
