- 1 jalapeño, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil

- ½ tsp garlic salt

Instructions
- Prep and Heat: Activate oven to 425°F and line baking sheet with parchment for optimal potato roasting performance.
- Vegetable Fusion: Combine diced potatoes, red onion, jalapeño, bell pepper with olive oil, paprika, and chili powder, ensuring comprehensive spice coverage and even coating.
- Strategic Roasting: Spread vegetable mixture in a single layer on prepared sheet, seasoning with salt and pepper, then roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway to guarantee uniform caramelization and crisp edges.
- Final Roasting Phase: Continue cooking vegetables for additional 10-20 minutes until potatoes achieve golden, crunchy exterior and vegetables reach optimal tenderness.
- Dressing Creation: Whisk tahini, mustard, lemon juice, oregano, garlic salt, and pepper, gradually incorporating water to develop a silky, pourable consistency with balanced flavor profile.
- Kale Preparation: Massage chopped kale with lemon juice, transforming leaves into a tender, vibrant base while potatoes complete roasting.
- Culinary Assembly: Layer massaged kale, crown with roasted vegetable medley, scatter remaining raw red onion, and generously drizzle mustard tahini dressing for a harmonious, vibrant bowl experience.
Notes
- Crisp Potato Perfection: Spread vegetables in a single layer for even roasting and maximum crunchiness, preventing steaming and ensuring golden edges.
- Kale Massage Technique: Manually massage kale with lemon juice to break down tough fibers, making leaves more tender and improving overall texture and digestibility.
- Dressing Consistency Hack: Add water gradually when mixing tahini sauce to control thickness, ensuring a smooth, pourable consistency that coats ingredients evenly.
- Timing is Key: Monitor potato roasting closely during final 10-20 minutes to achieve golden exterior without burning, rotating pan for uniform browning.
