Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by preheating the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the sweet potato thoroughly and pat it dry. Slice it into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking. Spread the cubes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Toss them to coat evenly. Roast in the oven for about 25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are tender when pierced with a fork. If the sweet potato is cooking unevenly, stir them halfway through the cooking time.
2. 2.
   While the sweet potato is roasting, prepare the kale. Rinse the leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Remove any tough ribs, then chop the kale into bite-sized pieces. In a large skillet over medium heat, add a teaspoon of olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the kale and sauté for around 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the leaves are wilted but still vibrant green. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. 3.
   For the dressing, combine the tahini with a tablespoon of water in a small bowl. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the tahini is too thick, add water a teaspoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency, similar to a thick salad dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, or a squeeze of lemon if you have some on hand for extra brightness.
4. 4.
   Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. In a bowl, combine the roasted sweet potato and sautéed kale. Drizzle the tahini dressing over the top. Toss everything gently to ensure that the dressing coats the vegetables evenly. If the kale appears too dry after mixing, add additional dressing to achieve a balanced coating.
5. 5.
   Serve the bowl immediately while still warm. If you find the flavors are too mellow, a pinch of chili flakes can add a touch of heat. Enjoy this nutrient-packed bowl as a satisfying meal that balances sweetness from the sweet potato with the earthiness of kale and creaminess of tahini.
