Sweet Potatoes with Kale and Caramelized Onions

Ingredients

  • 3 large sweet potatoes cut into cubes

  • 1 bunch kale stems removed and chopped into bite size pieces

  • 1 large onion thinly sliced

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil divided

  • 1 tsp salt divided

  • 1/2 tsp pepper divided

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line your roasting sheet with parchment paper or foil. Add sweet potatoes, 1 tbsp oil , 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Combine well and roast for 25-30 minutes until sweet potatoes are soft. Toss once half way. Remove and set aside.

  • Meanwhile, preheat pan on medium-low heat. Add the other 1 tbsp of oil, onion and 1/4 tsp of salt and cook stirring until soft. Turn heat to low and cook until onions start to caramelize, stirring occasionally – about 25 minutes.

  • Next, add the kale to the pan along with other 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper and cook for 5-10 minutes until leaves begin to wilt and soften.

  • Add roasted sweet potatoes and toss everything together to combine. Feel free to add additional seasonings and a drizzle of olive oil.
