2 medium sweet potatoes (about 8 oz. each), peeled, cut into 1/2" pieces
3/4 cup vegetable broth
1 1/4 cups full- or reduced-fat coconut milk
1 Tbsp. curry powder
1 bunch curly kale (about 8 oz.), stems removed, leaves torn into bite-size pieces
1 (15.5-oz.) can chickpeas, drained, rinsed
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 cups cooked white or brown rice

Steps:

  • Bring potatoes and broth to a simmer in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Cover and cook until potatoes soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk coconut milk and curry powder in a small bowl to combine.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in kale, chickpeas, and coconut milk mixture. Cover and simmer, stirring once halfway through, until potato is fully cooked but still holds its shape and kale is wilted and dark green, about 8 minutes. Stir in lime juice; season with salt and pepper.

Categories     Vegetable     Salad     Dinner     Lunch     Roast

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound Dinosaur/Tuscan kale
4 Sweet potatoes
3 Lemons
1 can Chickpeas
1/4 cup Dried cranberries
1 tablespoon Cajun spice blend
1/4 cup Tahini
1 tablespoon Miso paste
2 cups Shredded red cabbage
1 tablespoon Light brown sugar
2 ounces Walnuts
1 teaspoon Sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325.
  • Rinse all produce.
  • Stack kale leaves, trim and discard stems, and thinly slice crosswise.
  • Peel and then cut sweet potatoes into 1/2" dice.
  • Halve lemons.
  • Drain chickpeas and rinse, then pat dry with paper towel.
  • In a small bowl, combine dried cranberries and juice of 1 lemon and set aside until ready to serve.
  • On a baking sheet, toss sweet potatoes with half of spice blend, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt and pepper to taste.
  • Arrange in a single layer, spacing apart.
  • On a separate baking sheet, toss chickpeas with remaining spice blend, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt and pepper to taste.
  • Arrange in a single layer, spacing apart.
  • Transfer sweet potatoes and chickpeas to oven and roast together until potatoes are browned and tender, and chickpeas are golden and crisp, 20-22 min.
  • While sweet potatoes and chickpeas roast, in a large bowl (big enough for the salad), whisk together tahini, miso paste, juice of remaining lemons, (less if desired) 1/4 tsp salt, and pepper to combine.
  • Whisk in 2-3 tbsp warm water until dressing is smooth and pourable.
  • Add cabbage and kale to bowl and toss to fully coat. Set aside until ready to serve.
  • Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a small nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
  • When oil is shimmering, add brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until dissolved, 1-2 min.
  • Add walnuts to pan and toss fully to coat, about 1 min.
  • Remove pan from heat and stir in sesame seeds.
  • Transfer glazed walnuts to a plate and set aside to cool.
  • Divide kale and cabbage among serving bowls and top with roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and glazed walnuts.
  • Sprinkle dried cranberries and over bowls.

Tips:

  • Choose the right kale. Look for kale that is dark green and has no signs of wilting. Curly kale and Lacinato kale are both good choices for this recipe.
  • Wash the kale thoroughly. Kale can be dirty, so it's important to wash it well before using it. Rinse the kale under cold water and then pat it dry.
  • Massage the kale. Massaging the kale with olive oil helps to break down the tough fibers and make it more tender. This also helps to release the kale's nutrients.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes until they are tender. Roasting the sweet potatoes brings out their natural sweetness. Make sure to toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil and salt before roasting them.
  • Use a variety of toppings. The toppings are what really make this bowl special. Feel free to get creative and use whatever you like. Some good options include roasted chickpeas, avocado, feta cheese, and a drizzle of tahini.

Conclusion:

This kale and sweet potato bowl is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It's packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it's also very easy to make. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give this bowl a try.
