Instructions
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce.
Heat Guide for Step 1 (dbl for 4 ppl): 1/8 tsp mild, 1/4 tsp medium, 1/2 tsp spicy and 1 tsp extra-spicy!
Peel, then cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Add sweet potatoes, 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) and 1/8 tsp chipotle powder to a parchment-lined baking sheet. (NOTE: Reference Heat Guide.) Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast in the middle of the oven, flipping halfway through cooking, until golden-brown and tender, 22-23 min.
While sweet potatoes roast, heat a medium pot over medium heat. When hot, add pecans to the dry pot. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep our eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer to a plate.
Add 1 1/4 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl) and quinoa to the same pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook, until quinoa is tender and liquid is absorbed, 15-18 min. Remove from heat.
While quinoa cooks, rinse and drain lentils. Core and cut apple into 1/2-inch cubes. Juice lemon. Add kale and 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to a large bowl. Season with salt. Using your hands, massage kale until it turns dark green, 1 min. Set aside.
Whisk together lemon juice, Dijon, maple syrup and 2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) in a small bowl. Set aside. Add apples and roasted sweet potatoes to bowl with kale. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
Fluff quinoa with a fork, then season with salt. Stir in lentils. Add quinoa-lentil mixture to the bowl with kale mixture. Toss to combine. Divide super salad between bowls. Sprinkle with pecans, then spoon dressing over top.
