Kale Salad with Roasted Sweet Potatoes
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Toss sweet potato cubes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste; spread them evenly on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Bake in the preheated oven until the yams are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool them in the refrigerator to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and the garlic; cook and stir until the onion turns golden brown and caramelized, about 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in the kale and cook until it is wilted and tender. Transfer the kale mixture to a bowl; chill in the refrigerator until it reaches room temperature.

  5. 5

    Once everything has cooled, combine the yams, kale, red wine vinegar, and fresh thyme in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and gently stir to mix.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
