Heat the oven to 200°C/400°F. Toss together the sweet potato, olive oil, chilli powder and a sprinkling of salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Place in the oven for 30 minutes until softened.
While the potatoes are cooking whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic and a pinch of salt. Add water a few drops at a time until you reach the desired creamy consistency. Saute the kale in a few drops of oil over a medium heat until wilted.
