Directions:
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Next, peel the sweet potatoes and dice them into 1/2″ thick pieces. Transfer them to a large bowl and drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tbsp maple syrup, then season with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper. Mix well, then scatter them onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake them in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. In the meantime, toast the pecans in a dry skillet until golden. Set aside.

Next, make the dressing. Combine 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, one minced garlic clove, 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp ground black pepper in a bowl. Mix until well combined. Next, roughly chop a bunch of kale and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle 3/4 of the dressing over the kale, then toss the kale together using two forks for a couple of minutes until the kale reduces its size.
