  7. When veggies are done, pour on top of kale, then add dressing, sprinkle on red onion, and mix until well combined.

Notes

Cut broccoli florets and sweet potato cubes pretty small so that they they will bake fast enough, otherwise increase baking time.

I use avocado oil because it has one of the highest smoke points
