Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tbsp. olive or avocado oil
  • 2 tsp. maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 3 cups peeled and cubed sweet potatoes (about 2 small-medium potatoes)
  • 1 bunch lacinato kale
  • stemmed and roughly chopped
  • 2 cups arugula (sub spring mix or spinach)
  • 1 medium apple
  • cored and sliced (or roughly chopped)
  • 3 Tbsp. toasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan or Pecorino cheese (sub plant-based cheesy shreds if making vegan)
  • pomegranate arils for garnish optional
  • 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp. maple syrup
  • 2 tsp. white miso paste
  • 2 Tbsp. cider vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt. Add cubed sweet potatoes and toss to coat.
  3. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
  4. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the Maple Vinaigrette by whisking together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, white miso paste, cider vinegar, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the chopped kale, arugula, and apple slices. Add the roasted sweet potatoes once they’re done and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Toss to combine.
  6. Top with toasted pumpkin seeds, shaved cheese, and pomegranate arils, if using. Serve immediately.
