sweet potato kale quinoa yum...

Happy Monday!

Last week I shared my perfect lunch with you. 

Today I'm going to deconstruct it. You're getting one of my very favourite go-to recipes:  

baked sweet potato with kale and quinoa.

Ingredients:

• 2 sweet potatoes
• 1 red onion
• 5 kale leaves (I used flat green and curly red)
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• Big pinch sea salt
• 1 cup quinoa, cooked

Chop onion and baked potato into large, bite-sized chunks. De-stem kale leaves and rip up into pieces.

 

Place onion and baked potato into a casserole dish. Top with coconut oil and salt. Bake at 375f for 40-45 minutes. Reduce heat to 350f, add kale to casserole dish and bake another 10-15 minutes. The potato should be tender, but be careful not to burn the kale. That's it... oh, and enjoy! :)

It's a perfectly balanced meal with protein (quinoa), complex carbs (sweet potato), greens (kale), and healthy fats (coconut oil). 

You can also skip the quinoa and just serve the potatoes as a lovely side.

Happy t&s!
