Ingredients

• 1 medium Sweet potato
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.75 cup Wild rice
• 2 cups Kale (washed and chopped)
• 1 medium Apple (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 0.25 cup Pecans (toasted)
• 1 medium Chicken breast (optional, for a non-vegan version)
• 2 tablespoons Tahini
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Warm water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel and dice the sweet potato into 1/2-inch cubes. Toss the cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Roast the sweet potato in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.

Step 4

While the sweet potato roasts, rinse the wild rice under cold water. Cook it according to the package instructions (typically about 20-25 minutes) until tender. Drain any excess water and set aside.

Step 5

If using chicken, season the breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden. Remove from heat, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, warm water, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed.

Step 7

Core the apple and dice it into small cubes or thin slices.

Step 8

In a large mixing bowl, massage the chopped kale with a small drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt for 1-2 minutes until softened.

Step 9

Assemble the bowl by layering a base of massaged kale. Add the cooked wild rice, roasted sweet potato, diced apple, and toasted pecans. Add the sliced chicken if using, or leave it out for a vegan version.

Step 10

Drizzle the tahini dressing generously over the bowl. Toss lightly to combine, if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your soy-free harvest bowl!
