Instructions

Chop 1 large sweet potato into ¼ inch chunks, drizzle 1 teaspoon of oil and sprinkle with a little sea salt. Bake at 400° F for 30 minutes or until sweet potatoes are fork tender.
Cook brown rice according to package instructions while sweet potatoes are roasting.
Prepare kale by washing, de-stemming and chopping. Then steam in a steamer basket for 3-5 mins or until tender. You can blanch or sauté the kale if you'd rather.
Make peanut sauce by blending all the sauce ingredients in a blender until smooth. Add water to thin sauce and create desired consistency.
Once all ingredients are prepped, grab two bowls and evenly distribute brown rice, kale, chickpeas and sweet potato chunks between both. Drizzle each with as much peanut sauce as you'd like. Serve warm or at room-temp.
