How to Make Spicy Potato Kale Bowls with Mustard Tahini Dressing

Let’s step into the kitchen together and bring this warm delight to life:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes, until they are golden and crispy on the edges.
3. While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the mustard tahini dressing by mixing tahini, mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
4. In another bowl, massage the chopped kale with a little olive oil and a pinch of salt until tender and fragrant. This simple step transforms the kale into a beautiful and flavorful addition to your bowl!
5. Once the potatoes are done, assemble the bowls by layering the crispy potatoes, marinated kale, and slices of red onion. Drizzle generously with the mustard tahini dressing before serving.

Fun Ways to Customize It

• Incorporate Seasonal Veggies: Swap in seasonal vegetables like roasted carrots, brussels sprouts, or butternut squash for added flavor and nutrition.
• Spice It Up: Add a dash of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the tahini dressing for a kick of heat.
• Creamy Avocado: Slices of creamy avocado on top can elevate this dish to new heights of deliciousness and creaminess.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
