Ingredients
  • 1-2 Tbsp olive oil, plus a bit more if needed
  • 1 large yam, cut into ½ inch cubes
  • 2 cups adzuki beans, soaked, cooked & drained (or 1 can works too)
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2-4 Tbsp ground cumin (fresh ground is best)
  • 6-7 stalks black (lacinato) kale, sliced thin
  • salt & pepper, to taste
  • juice of ½ of lime
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400.
  2. Scrub & dry the yam, and remove any obvious blemishes from the yam, but otherwise you can leave the skin on.
  3. Cut yam into ½ inch cubes and place them into a bowl and toss with olive oil to coat. Spread yam cubes onto a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 mins or until soft & slightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, toss together cooked yam cubes with the rest of the ingredients. Mix together well. Add more olive oil, if needed.
  5. Add salt & pepper to taste, along with a splash of fresh lime.
  6. Enjoy!
