A flavorful and nutritious Sweet Potato and Kale Hash made by sautéing tender sweet potatoes, onions, and hearty kale with a touch of maple syrup and smoky chipotle chili pepper, perfect as a delicious side dish for any meal.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1 bunch lacinato kale, ribs removed and roughly chopped
  • ½ yellow onion, diced

Seasonings and Oil

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground chipotle chili pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil: Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the aromatics.
  2. Sauté the onions: Add the diced yellow onions to the skillet and cook until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid browning.
  3. Pre-steam the sweet potatoes: While onions cook, place the chopped sweet potatoes in a microwave-safe glass bowl, cover with a paper towel, and steam in the microwave for 2-3 minutes until just fork tender. This step is optional but recommended to ensure even cooking.
  4. Brown the sweet potatoes: Increase the heat to medium-high, add the steamed sweet potatoes to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring often to ensure even browning without burning.
  5. Add maple syrup and chipotle: Drizzle the sweet potatoes with maple syrup and toss to coat evenly. Continue to sauté for 2 more minutes to caramelize the syrup. Then sprinkle the chipotle chili pepper and sauté for an additional minute to infuse a smoky heat.
  6. Cook the kale: Reduce the heat back to medium. Add the chopped kale to the skillet, season again with salt and pepper, and cook until the kale is just wilted, about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Serve warm: Once the kale is wilted and all ingredients are well combined, remove from heat and serve the hash warm as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • Pre-steaming the sweet potatoes is optional but highly recommended to speed up cooking and ensure tenderness.
  • If you skip steaming, increase the sauté time for the sweet potatoes until they are fully cooked through.
  • Adjust the chipotle chili powder amount to control the heat level according to your taste preference.
