This hearty Kale and Sweet Potato dish keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days and can be a real lifesaver on those days when you’ve got a tight schedule. It takes about twenty-five minutes to prep and cook. Cutting the sweet potatoes into ¼ size cubes helps shorten the cooking time of this nutrient-dense and delish dish. Feel free to substitute butternut squash.

2 cups cubed and peeled sweet potatoes, cut into ¼-inch cubes (about 1 large or 2 medium)
1 Tbsp. coconut, olive, or avocado oil
