Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

2 cups fresh kale, chopped (stems removed)

1 small onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon ground cumin

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

½ cup vegetable broth or water

1 tablespoon lemon juice

¼ cup walnuts, chopped (optional for garnish)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

    Add Aromatics: Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet with the sweet potatoes. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

      Season the Mixture: Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another minute until the garlic is fragrant.

        Incorporate the Kale: Add the chopped kale to the skillet, followed by the vegetable broth or water. Stir well to combine, ensuring the kale is distributed throughout. Cover the skillet and let it steam for about 5 minutes or until the kale is wilted and tender.

          Finish the Dish: Remove the lid and stir in the lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If desired, toss in the chopped walnuts for a nice crunch.

            Serving: Serve the sweet potato and kale skillet warm, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
