Mayan Harvest Bake

potatoes

plantain

Tablespoons avocado oil (divided)

onion (finely chopped)

garlic (minced)

tomato sauce

water broth

ground ancho chile powder/pepper (or regular chili powder)

coconut sugar

paprika

sea salt

cinnamon

kale

organic black beans (drained and rinsed)

quinoa

18 oz tube polenta (sliced into 1/4 inch slices)

roasted pepitas

avocado (for topping)

cilantro (for topping)

Preheat oven to 400° degrees.

Toss chopped sweet potatoes and plantains cubes in 1 Tablespoon oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and spread onto a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender.

While the potatoes and plantains are roasting, heat remaining 1 Tablespoon of oil on medium-high in a large skillet. Add onion and garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Add tomato sauce, water, chile powder, coconut sugar, paprika, sea salt and cinnamon into the skillet and let sauce simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes. Add black beans and kale into the skillet. Stir kale into the sauce, allowing it to wilt. Once kale has wilted down, remove sauce from the heat.

Meanwhile, spray a 9x13 or 11x7 casserole dish with non-stick spray. Line the bottom of the dish with polenta slices, overlapping if needed. Top with the cooked quinoa. Then add the roasted sweet potatoes and plantains. Pour the saucy black bean and kale mixture over everything and use a spoon to create an even top layer.

Bake casserole in the 400° oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle pepitas over the bake and serve warm. Top each portion with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro.

Needs twice the sauce.  Otherwise flavors are there. You

Delicious!!! Better than the actual Kashi bowl

Made this 3 times - was so good in the trial run I made it for both family Thanksgivings! I can make it with my eyes closed now 😂😂. Thank you for the recipe!
