  • 2 tsp Chili powder
  • 1 tbsp Smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Ground coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil, divided
  • 2 cups Chopped kale

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, toss the sweetpotato chunks with 2 tablespoons olive oil and the chipotle powder, chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, coriander, salt and pepper. Spread on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. While it’s cooling, place the kale in a large bowl and add 1 tablespoon of light olive oil. Use your fingers to massage the kale until softened. Add the sweetpotatoes to the kale and set aside to make the dressing.
