Sprinkle of sugar of choice

Other Toppings-
1/2 cup pecans
Emporium Selection Parmesan Cheese
Maple Vinaigrette:
1/4 cup Simply Nature 100% Pure Avocado Oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp Specially Selected 100% Pure maple syrup

1/2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
1/2 tsp Simply Nature Organic Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp salt

Method

  1. I made the cranberries ahead of time or you can use store bought!
  2. I cut the cranberries in half and coated them with the avocado oil + sugar. Then baked at 200F for 3 hours. Stored in the fridge until I was ready to use!
  3. For the sweet potatoes, I diced them and coated with the avocado oil and salt. Then baked at 400F for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through
  4. For the brussel sprouts, I cut them in half and coated with the avocado oil, maple syrup, garlic powder, and salt. Baked at 400F for 40 minutes
  5. For the kale- right before the veggies were done I added it to a bowl and drizzled avocado oil on it. I then massaged the oil into it and sprinkled salt. Delicious!
  6. For the maple vinaigrette, I just combined everything in a food processor.
  7. Assemble the salad, top with pecans and as much Parmesan as you want!
