Cooking the Rice
  1. Rinse wild rice under cold water.

Roasting Sweet Potatoes
  1. While the rice cooks, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Spread the diced sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.
Preparing Kale
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chopped kale and a splash of water or olive oil.
  2. Sauté until wilted.
Combining Ingredients
  1. Once the rice, sweet potatoes, and kale are ready, combine them in a bowl.
  2. Mix well and add optional toppings if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving. Rinse wild rice well to remove excess starch for better texture. You can also cook the rice ahead of time for meal prep.
