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).
  • Yield: 4 servings (serving size: about ¾ cup)

Notes

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