Ingredients

1/4 cup unsweetened dried cranberries ($0.49)

2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar ($0.07)

1/2 Tbsp honey ($0.07)

1 lemon, zested and juiced ($0.58)

4 large sweet potatoes ($6.88)

2 cups chopped kale, packed ($1.48)

1/2 Tbsp olive oil ($0.11)

1 pinch salt ($0.01)

1/4 cup pepitas ($0.44)

Instructions

1 In a microwave-safe bowl, add the cranberries, apple cider vinegar, honey, and the juice of the lemon. Microwave for 1 minute. Let the cranberries steep while you prepare the sweet potatoes.

2 Rinse the sweet potatoes well. Pierce the surface of the potatoes a few times with a fork and then microwave them all together for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cooked through. They are done when a fork can easily pierce through them. The cooking time will vary depending on your microwave's strength and size of the potatoes.

3 In the meantime, use a fork to smash the rehydrated cranberries to help thicken their sauce.

4 Add the kale to a large bowl along with the olive oil and salt. Massage the kale for about 30 seconds until tender. Mix the pepitas and the undrained cranberries into the kale.

5 Once the potatoes are done, slice the potatoes in half (but not all the way through) and fluff the insides with a fork.

6 Divide the kale between the four potatoes. Finish with a sprinkle of lemon zest on each potato.
