Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • ½ kosher salt
  • 4 cups packed chopped kale
  • 4 cups 1-inch chopped pieces sweet potatoes
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • ½ teaspoon salt-free Italian seasoning
  • Fresh lemon juice for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400F.
  • Add the kale to the sheet pan, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and toss to combine.
  • Roast for 10 minutes, tossing mid-way through, until crisp and lightly browned. Remove to a plate and aside.
  • To the same pan, add the sweet potatoes and chicken. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the Italian seasoning, tossing to combine.
  • Spread into an even layer and roast for 30 minutes, tossing mid-way through, or until the chicken and sweet potatoes are golden and cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken, sweet potatoes, and kale with a squeeze of lemon if desired.

Notes

  • If you’d rather skip the kale, just roast the sweet potatoes and chicken, then serve with some lightly dressed greens of your choice.
