Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Prep vegetables – wash and dry carrots and potatoes. Cut both into rounds (disks), about 1/4 inch thick.
In a bowl, combine chopped potatoes, carrots, and chickpeas. Add in olive oil and spices, and mix well until everything is evenly coated.
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, bake vegetables + chickpeas for 45-50 minutes. When they’re done cooking, remove from oven and let cool.
While vegetables are cooking, make pesto – combine all ingredients into a food processor and process on high until a slightly smooth pesto is formed.
In a bowl, mix thinly sliced lacinato kale and pesto until kale is evenly covered. Then, add roasted vegetables + chickpeas, and brown rice. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
Serve in bowls and top with sesame seeds.
Enjoy!
If you can’t find lacinato (Tuscan) kale, any other hardy green will do – like chard, regular kale, or collard greens.
