Kale on the other hand, certainly doesn't need any introduction. It tops the nutrient density scale, boosting it's profile of vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin A, iron, folate, magnesium, calcium... Need I go on?

Serves 2
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 sweet potato, diced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 bunch kale, washed, leaves removed, and roughly chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper
Method
Preheat oven to 375Ë. Toss the diced sweet potato with the paprika and 1 tbsp of coconut oil on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until soft and slightly crisp.
Remove from oven and transfer sweet potatoes to a bowl. In a dutch oven or skillet over medium high heat, melt 1/2 tbsp of coconut oil. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, add the kale and sauté until just starting to wilt, 1-2 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes to the pan and toss to combine. Using a wooden spoon, make two wells in the pan. Crack each egg into the well. Cover pan with a lid for 1-2 minutes, allowing the whites to set. Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, turn off heat, finish with a pinch of salt and pepper and serve.
