- 1 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 cups chopped kale leaves
- 2 pasture-raised eggs
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and dice sweet potato into 1/2-inch cubes. Toss with 1/2 tbsp avocado oil and 1/8 tsp sea salt. Roast for 25 minutes until golden and tender, flipping halfway through.
