Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Peel and cube the sweet potato into bite-sized pieces, and toss with half a teaspoon of olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Spread the sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, slice the tempeh into small cubes or thin strips. In a skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat and sauté the tempeh for about 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy on the edges.
Gently warm the cooked pinto beans in a small pot over low heat; season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Roughly chop the kale, discarding any tough stems. If preferred, lightly sauté or steam the kale for 2-3 minutes until wilted, or serve raw for extra crunch.
Assemble the dish by layering the pinto beans as a base, then adding the roasted sweet potatoes and tempeh on top, and finish with the fresh or lightly warmed kale.
Serve warm and enjoy the smoky, earthy flavors of this balanced meal.
