November is the perfect time to enjoy cozy vegetables like sweet potatoes and kale. These ingredients are at their best right now, and they make for a satisfying meal that feels special enough for a holiday gathering yet simple enough for a busy weeknight.

My favorite thing about this recipe is how the sweetness of the potatoes pairs with the earthy kale. If you have leftovers, they keep surprisingly well in the fridge for a quick lunch the next day.
