Enjoy this tasty plant-based bowl for lunch, dinner, or even breakfast! It's loaded with nutritious ingredients, such as sweet potatoes, edamame, walnuts, and kale.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coconut or olive oil
- ½ cup chopped red onion
- 2 cups chopped sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 pound)
- 1 cup cooked edamame or chickpeas, or ½ cup each
- 2 cups torn kale, lightly packed, torn into bite-sized pieces
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Add coconut oil, onions, and sweet potatoes to a large skillet. Cook about 10-12 minutes, and then add the remaining ingredients. Stir frequently so garlic doesn’t burn. Cook another 5 minutes. If the pan becomes dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of water. Remove from heat and serve when sweet potatoes are crisp tender (not mushy).

Notes
- Substitute kale with fresh spinach leaves.
- Use black beans instead of edamame or chickpeas.
