Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes, thinly sliced
2 cups kale, chopped
1 cup low-fat milk
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add chopped kale and cook for about 3 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat.
- Arrange sweet potato slices evenly in a baking dish.
- Spread the sautéed kale mixture over the sweet potatoes.

Notes
Slice sweet potatoes thinly for even cooking.
Sautéing kale removes bitterness.
Spinach can replace kale if desired.
Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.
Let rest 5 minutes before serving for best texture.
