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.
