Ingredients
- 2 Sweet Potatoes, cut into spears (about 1/2in thick)
- 1 Red Onion, cut into petals
- 3 cups Dinosaur Kale - messaged and stems removed
- 1/3 cup walnuts
- 2 - 3 tablespoons of Fustini’s Blood Orange Olive Oil
- 3 - 4 tablespoons of Fustini’s Hot Honey Balsamic Vinegar
- 3 oz Soft Goat Cheese
- Salt to taste
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and prep a large baking tray with parchment paper and lightly brush with olive oil.
- In a large bowl toss together sweet potatoes, red onion, salt, and Fustini’s Blood Orange Olive Oil. Spread out evenly on the prepared baking sheet and put in the preheated oven.
- Roast for 20 minutes, flipping everything halfway through. Keep cooking until a knife can pierce through the potatoes and they are lightly caramelized and golden brown.
- Add kale and walnuts over top the pan and cook for another 5 - 8 minutes or until the kale is wilted and begins to crisp on the edges and the walnuts begin to lightly toast.
- Remove pan from the oven. Generously drizzle Fustini’s Hot Honey Balsamic Vinegar over everything and toss gently to coat.
- Plate the dish and garnish with sprinkled crumbles of goat cheese. Serve Warm & Enjoy!!
