White Bean and Kale Stuffed Sweet Potato with a side of Roasted Parmesan Tomato Quinoa

This was THE BEST. So healthy and delicious!!

Ingredients:

• 4 sweet potatoes
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 1/2 cups (or 1 can) cooked and drained white beans
• 6 cups kale, trimmed and sliced
• Lemon
• Salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Clean the potatoes and stab them with a fork
3. Place on a baking sheet and put in the oven for about 1 hour
4. While cooking, heat olive oil over low-medium in a large skillet
5. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly
6. Add beans and cook for 5 minutes, continuing to stir
7. Add kale, cover the pan, and let kale soften. This took me about 15 minutes as I used a lot of kale. I would check every few minutes and stir
8. Lightly squeeze half a lemon over and season with salt and pepper
9. Slice each potato open and stuff with kale and bean mixture
