SWEET POTATO AND KALE SALAD WITH ROQUEFORT

Steps:

• To roast the sweet potatoes, heat the oven to 425 degrees. Rinse the sweet potatoes and pierce in several places with the tip of a paring knife. Line a sheet pan with foil and place the sweet potatoes on the foil. Bake 40 to minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the sweet potatoes. They are done when they are soft and beginning to ooze. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Meanwhile make the dressing (or you can make it a day ahead). In a mini-processor or in a mortar and pestle blend together the garlic, cheese, thyme, buttermilk, and vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. For best results, leave it to sit for at least an hour.
• To make the crispy kale, heat the oven to 300 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Make sure that your kale leaves are dry and tear them into medium-size pieces and toss with the olive oil. Gently knead the leaves between your thumbs and fingers to make sure they are coated with oil. Place in an even layer on the baking sheets. Do this in batches if necessary. Place in the oven and roast for 16 to 22 minutes, until the leaves are crisp but not browned. If some of the leaves crisp before others, remove them to a bowl or sheet pan and return the remaining kale to the oven. Watch closely as once the kale browns it will taste bitter. Season to taste with kosher salt or fine sea salt. Allow to cool.
• Peel the sweet potatoes, quarter lengthwise and slice. Place in a salad bowl and add the pecans and half the crispy kale.
• Line the edge of a platter with the remaining crispy kale. Toss the sweet potato mixture with the dressing, place in the middle of the platter and serve at once.

KALE AND ROASTED-POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine potatoes, onion slices, 1 tablespoon oil, and 3/4 teaspoon salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with pepper, and toss. Spread mixture in a single layer (use a second sheet if necessary). Roast, stirring potatoes and scraping bottom of sheet about every 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until potatoes are brown and crisp, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Combine mustard and lemon zest and juice in a bowl. Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add kale, and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 6 minutes. Add mustard-lemon mixture; toss to coat. Cook until heated through. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and season with pepper. Toss with potatoes.

SWEET POTATO KALE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F.
• Drain lentils, then place on a clean kitchen towel to dry. Add the lentils, pepitas, paprika, garlic powder, and oil to a baking pan. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
• Roast Lentils: Spread lentils and pepitas out in an even layer. Roast for 10 mins, then give them a shake and a stir and roast for another 10-12 min, until crunchy and crispy.
• Prepare 1 large or 2 smaller baking trays. Add the carrot, sweet potato, red onion and beet to the pans in an even layer so they're not overly crowed (use 2 pans if needed). Add the olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and toss to coat.
• When the lentils are done, increase the oven temperature to 425 F and roast the vegetables for 30-40 minutes until tender.
• Add all of the dressing ingredients to a blender and process until smooth. If you don't have a blender available, use 1/2 garlic powder instead of garlic cloves and whisk the dressing together in a bowl until smooth.
• Remove the kale leaves from the tough stems and chop into bite-sized pieces. Drizzle the kale with 1 tsp olive oil and massage with your hands for 30 seconds or so until softened and bright green.
• Assemble Salads: Divide the kale between 4 serving bowls or storage containers. When the vegetables are ready, divide the roasted vegetables and crispy lentils between each serving. If you're adding fresh herbs, sprinkle those on top. If you're serving right away, drizzle the dressing over each serving and enjoy. If you're storing for later, store the dressing separately and add just before serving.
