Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.Wash and dry all produce. Peel, then cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Add sweet potatoes, half the Southwest Spice Blend and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast in the middle of the oven, flipping halfway through, until golden-brown and tender, 22-23 min.
Meanwhile, 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 your eye on pecans so they don't burn!) Transfer to a plate.
Add 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) salt to the same medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add bulgur. Stir to combine, then cover and remove from heat. Let stand until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed, 15-16 min. Fluff bulgur with a fork.
Meanwhile, core, then cut apple into 1/2-inch pieces. Juice lemon. Add kale and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt. Using your hands, massage oil into kale for 30 sec to soften leaves.
Whisk together Dijon, maple syrup, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) lemon juice and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) oil in a small bowl. Set aside. Add apples, cranberries and sweet potatoes to the large bowl with kale. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
Roughly chop pecans. Fluff bulgur with a fork, then season with salt. Add bulgur and half the dressing to the large bowl with salad. Toss to combine. Divide bulgur and kale super salad between bowls. Drizzle remaining dressing over top. Sprinkle with pecans.
