Ingredients
- 3 sweet potatoes cubed (~4 cups)
- 1 bunch curly kale stems removed, finely chopped
- 2 cups cooked brown rice I use defrosted frozen rice to save time
- ½ cup italian parsley chopped
- ½ cups dried cranberries
- ½ cup feta cheese crumbled
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
For the Lemon Tahini Dressing:
- ¼ cup tahini
- ¼ cup lemon juice ~2 lemons
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- water to thin as needed
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 425 F. Add the cubed sweet potatoes to a large bowl and toss them with the avocado oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper until every piece is coated.
- Spread them onto a large baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 35 minutes, flipping them at the halfway point, until they’re crispy and golden.
- While the potatoes are in the oven, make the dressing. Add the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic, salt, and pepper to a small blender and blend until smooth.
- Once the sweet potatoes come out of the oven, add the kale, cooked brown rice, parsley, dried cranberries, and feta right to the sheet pan.
- Pour the lemon tahini dressing over the top and toss until everything is well coated. Serve it warm or let it cool, and enjoy!
If it’s on the thick side, add water a little at a time until it’s pourable, then set it aside.
