Ingredients
Yield: 3 servings
- 1 1/2 pounds sweet potato, diced into ½-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon each: ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon each: fine sea salt, freshly-ground black pepper
- 6 ounces fresh kale, chopped with tough stems discarded
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 1 small red onion, very thinly sliced
- 1 cup loosely-packed chopped fresh cilantro
- 2/3 cup roasted pepitas
- (optional) crumbled cotija or feta cheese
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 chipotle in adobo sauce (plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce)
Method
Prep the oven and baking sheet. Warm oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bake the sweet potatoes. Tip in the sweet potatoes to a large mixing bow. Spoon evenly with 1 tablespoon of oil and sprinkle evenly with the spices. Turn until combined. Spread the sweet potatoes out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 30 minutes or until tender, then move the baking sheet to a wire rack.
Stir the dressing. Tip in all of the dressing ingredients to a blender (or see non-blender option below) and purée until smooth. If you prefer a thinner dressing, you are welcome to add in more water. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
Massage the kale. Tip in the kale to a large mixing bowl and drizzle evenly with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Massage the oil into the kale for 1-2 minutes until softened.
Turn and serve. Tip in the remaining salad ingredients and the cooked sweet potatoes and toss until evenly combined. Plate while it is hot, drizzled with the chipotle tahini dressing, and enjoy!
