Scale

- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the diced sweet potato with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread on a baking sheet.
- Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the kale by massaging it with the remaining olive oil and lemon juice until it becomes tender.

- Top with avocado and feta cheese if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a vegan option, omit the feta cheese.
- This salad can be made ahead of time; just add the avocado right before serving to prevent browning.
