Do you guys like sweet potatoes? I do 🙂 the majority of the time when I’m looking for sweet potatoes at the grocery store I can’t find the typical orange colored potatoes. These white ones are just as good though!
These spicy beans and greens served on top of the sweet potato is super tasty! There are 3 different types of beans with delicious cooked kale. I feel like a lot of people try raw kale for the first time and hate it. If you hate kale and have never tried it cooked I highly recommend you give it another try. I love how it soaks up the flavor of the other things it’s cooked with. I got the idea for these spicy beans and greens from this vegan app I downloaded a couple of years ago. It’s called 21-Day Vegan Kick Start. I haven’t tried all the recipes on there but the few I have, have been super delicious. If you happen to actually be vegan you should totally download this app! I hope you guys love this recipe as much as I do.
P.S. This was a tough one to photograph, because let’s be honest… potatoes, kale and beans, don’t make the most photogenic combination. But they make a great combination on my taste buds 🙂
