Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 2 cups kale, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Wash potatoes thoroughly and cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes. Pat the potato cubes dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to help them crisp up during roasting.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss diced potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Ensure each potato piece is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Spread the seasoned potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to allow proper roasting and crispy edges.
- Roast potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- While potatoes are roasting, wash and finely chop the kale, removing any tough stems. Set aside.
- Prepare the mustard tahini dressing by whisking together tahini, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
- During the last 5 minutes of potato roasting, add chopped kale to the baking sheet. The kale will crisp slightly and absorb the potato's flavors.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy, and the kale slightly wilted and crisp-edged.
- Divide the roasted potato and kale mixture among four serving bowls. Drizzle generously with the prepared mustard tahini dressing.
- Serve immediately while hot, optionally garnishing with additional fresh herbs or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
Tips
- Potato Perfection: Always pat your potato cubes dry before roasting to ensure maximum crispiness. Moisture is the enemy of a golden, crunchy exterior!
- Seasoning Secret: Don't be shy with your spices. The chili powder is key to creating that irresistible flavor profile, so make sure each potato is generously coated.
- Kale Technique: Add kale in the last 5 minutes of roasting to prevent burning while still achieving those delightful crispy edges.
- Dressing Hack: Whisk your tahini dressing thoroughly to prevent separation and ensure a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra flavor boost, consider topping your bowls with toasted nuts, a sprinkle of nutritional yeast, or some fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
