Directions
- Make the yam bites:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F
- Place yams in a medium bowl, add 1 Tbsp olive oil, and mix to spread oil evenly
- Arrange yam slices into ¼ inch slices and arrange on a baking sheet and add pepper and sea salt to taste.
- Bake for 20 minutes on one side, turn bites over, and bake for another 15 minutes (or until cooked through)
- Toast the walnuts: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with the walnuts and toast for 5 minutes. Once toasted, pulse them in the food processor 1-2 times.
- In a food processor, add the garlic cloves and process until it is minced.
- Add the kale, toasted walnuts, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
- Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed.
- Add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper if necessary.
- Top each yam bite with 1-2 tsp of pesto, and garnish with sundried tomato.
- Alternatively, serve pesto on crostini, crackers, or fresh veggies.
