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.

This dish turned out even better than I expected! The kale and sweet potatoes were perfectly roasted and the tahini dressing was creamy and flavorful. I served this bowl with some quinoa and it was a hit with my family. Definitely a keeper!

I'm not usually a fan of kale, but this recipe changed my mind. The kale was cooked perfectly and had a nice crunch to it. The sweet potatoes were also delicious and roasted to perfection. The tahini dressing was the perfect finishing touch.
