Sweet potato salad

Spicy Sweet Potato Salad

(Serves 4)

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup (230g) canned black beans

4 big handfuls green kale

1 handful cherry tomatoes

1 pomegranate

1 avocado

4 tbsp pumpkin seeds

2 medium sweet potatoes

2 tbsp oil

2 tsp cumin

1tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 salt

1/4 tsp garlic powder

Directions

1. Turn the oven on 220*C(425*F). Cut the sweet potatoes in 1 cm chunks. Spread them on a baking sheet, add oil and spices and toss together until well combined. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until soft.

2. Rinse the black beans, remove the pomegranate seeds from the pomegranate, cut the avocado in chunks and the cherry tomatoes in half.

3. When the sweet potatoes are done remove form the oven and let them cool.

4. When the sweet potatoes have cooled add the sweet potatoes and black beans and fruit and vegetables in a large bowl and mix toss together. Top it off with a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds. You can add the pumpkin seeds as they are, or toast them on a pan on high heat until brown on both sides. This makes the pumpkin seeds more flavor and extra crunchy which suits this salad really well. Enjoy!
