Kale and Mushroom Sweet Potato
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup purple onions (chopped)
- 6 white button mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 cup fresh baby kale leaves
- 3 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp black pepper, salt and crushed red pepper
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 medium to large sweet potato
- First, steam cook your sweet potato.
- Make sure to poke holes into the potato with a fork all around it so the steam can release and you don't end up with an exploded sweet potato all over your microwave!
- This is a fast and easy method I love using instead of baking them in the oven for almost an hour.
- Take a paper towel and wet it.
- Ring the water out from it and wrap it around your potato.This will help keep the potato from drying out.
- Now take some saran wrap and wrap your potato up tight.
- Microwave your potato for 7 minutes until soft but still somewhat firm to the touch.
- Unwrap and set aside to cool a bit.
- Be careful taking the wrap and paper towel off.
- They don't call it a hot potato for nothing!
