Roasted Sweet Potato and Kale Salad

This is the first Recipe of the Week! I will only be posting recipes I have made and like because there is nothing worse than spending money and time on one that doesn't taste like anything or is just bad. If you have never tried or cooked kale, this is a great place to start! Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 medium  sweet potato, peeled and diced
1/2 sweet onion chopped
1 small head of kale
1 tbsp or more garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a medium bowl, mix 1/2 tbsp of olive oil with salt and pepper.
3. On a baking sheet, spread sweet potatoes in a thin layer and roast for 30 minutes, or until lightly brown and tender. (I like mine a little crisper so I will roast longer if necessary.)
4. While the potatoes roast, heat 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
5. Add garlic and onions and saute until carmelized.
6. Cut kale leaves from stem and into bite size pieces. Add to pan with garlic and onions and cook until wilted.
7. Pour kale and onion mixture into a large bowl and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
8. Add roasted potatoes to bowl and mix.
9. Place bowl in refrigerator until salad has cooled to desired temperature.
