Sweet Potato Kale Stir Fry
I didn’t even know what to name this...the easiest, most delicious dinner that will become a weekly staple for your family! This is so quick to throw together and the flavor is amazing. See my tip at the end of this for how to make this an even faster dinner!
Ingredients:
Serves 2-3 but is very easy to double (or triple)!
Avocado or coconut oil
1 sweet potato (or frozen cubed sweet potato)
1 organic lemon
1 packet of cooked brown and red rice* or any leftover rice
1 bunch of organic kale* washed, destemmed and torn
1/2 cup of organic butter beans, cooked
Optional: toasted pepitas, slivered almonds, sesame seeds, etc for serving
*Any cooked rice/grain will do. These packets are my favorite for flavor and texture in this dish! Any variety of kale works but if you don’t have kale on hand, ANY green will do! Keep in mind spinach cooks way faster.
Directions:
Peel sweet potato if desired (there are lots of nutrients in the skin but it’s totally personal preference). Cut up into very small chunks.
Heat a large pan to medium heat. Add oil. Add chopped sweet potatoes and cook until tender.
Add kale and cook a couple more minutes until the kale softens.
Add more oil if needed and then add rice and beans.
Add lemon juice and soy sauce to taste. Stir until combined and until kale is to your liking.
Serve with toasted nuts or seeds.
Cut sweet potato in tiny cubes (larger cubes will just take longer to cook). Add sweet potatoes to a heated, oiled pan.
Once sweet potatoes are tender (taste one!), add torn kale. Make sure to remove the tough stems.
Add more oil if needed. Add rice, lemon juice, and soy sauce and saute for a minute until rice is warmed through. Serve with toasted nuts or seeds. Enjoy!
**To prep ahead of time, poke holes in sweet potato with a fork and bake in the oven at 425 for 40 min or until fork tender. You could also poke holes in it and microwave in a pinch. Then cut into cubes. If you do this, add everything at the same time and it will literally take 5 minutes!
