Sweet potatoes and chickpeas are roasted with paprika and cumin, then tossed through kale with a creamy cashew dressing and finished with a sprinkling of parsley, chilli flakes and black pepper — simple, creamy and delicious.
Method:
1
Preheat oven to 190°C fan / 375°F. Place the sweet potato chunks and drained chickpeas on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil, cumin, paprika and a pinch of salt. Mix well and roast for 30–35 minutes until the sweet potatoes begin to soften.
2
While they cook, make the dressing. Place all of the dressing ingredients into a powerful blender and blitz until smooth.
3
Place the kale into a large mixing bowl; add a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of salt. Massage the kale with your hands for a few minutes, really rubbing the leaves until the kale is nice and soft. When ready, pour over the dressing and gently rub it into the kale, again using your hands.
4
Once the sweet potatoes and chickpeas are cooked, remove from the oven. Allow to cool for a few minutes and then toss through the kale. Transfer to a serving bowl and finish with fresh parsley, a crack of black pepper and a pinch of chilli flakes.
Ella’s Tips
Massaging kale may sound a little strange but it makes a world of difference; softening the leaves to soak up maximum dressing.
