Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves chopped

  4. Once sweet potatoes are cooked, allow them to cool slightly.
  5. Add roasted sweet potatoes, dried cranberries, feta cheese, and nuts to the kale.
