Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400° F and begin with prepping your sweet potatoes. Once sweet potatoes are cut into even cubes, drizzle with coconut oil and add spices and freshly ground sea salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Add potatoes to a baking sheet and roast in oven for 25-30 minutes, or until potatoes are nice and soft once pierced with a fork. Your kitchen will also begin to smell amazing, which is a good indicator that they’re done. Remove sweet potatoes from oven and let cool to room temperature.
Next massage the kale. In a large bowl add chopped kale and drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, and freshly ground sea salt and pepper. Using your hands, massage kale for 2-3 minutes until the leaves begin to feel smooth and silky. Once kale is massaged add in pumpkin seeds, pomegranate seeds, and roasted sweet potato cubes. Enjoy!
P.S. This can be made ahead of time and placed in the refrigerator. The flavors of the kale will only become better. You can also add some cubed avocado or nuts to bulk up your kale goodness some more.
