1/4 cup Dried cranberries
1 tablespoon Cajun spice blend
1/4 cup Tahini
1 tablespoon Miso paste
2 cups Shredded red cabbage
1 tablespoon Light brown sugar

1 teaspoon Sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Peel and then cut sweet potatoes into 1/2" dice.
  • Halve lemons.
  • Drain chickpeas and rinse, then pat dry with paper towel.
  • In a small bowl, combine dried cranberries and juice of 1 lemon and set aside until ready to serve.
  • On a baking sheet, toss sweet potatoes with half of spice blend, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt and pepper to taste.
  • Arrange in a single layer, spacing apart.
  • On a separate baking sheet, toss chickpeas with remaining spice blend, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt and pepper to taste.

  • Transfer sweet potatoes and chickpeas to oven and roast together until potatoes are browned and tender, and chickpeas are golden and crisp, 20-22 min.
  • While sweet potatoes and chickpeas roast, in a large bowl (big enough for the salad), whisk together tahini, miso paste, juice of remaining lemons, (less if desired) 1/4 tsp salt, and pepper to combine.
  • Whisk in 2-3 tbsp warm water until dressing is smooth and pourable.
  • Add cabbage and kale to bowl and toss to fully coat. Set aside until ready to serve.
  • Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a small nonstick pan over medium-high heat.

  • Add walnuts to pan and toss fully to coat, about 1 min.
  • Remove pan from heat and stir in sesame seeds.
  • Transfer glazed walnuts to a plate and set aside to cool.
  • Divide kale and cabbage among serving bowls and top with roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and glazed walnuts.
