Peel and dice the sweet potato into 1/2-inch cubes, then steam or microwave for 3 minutes until slightly tender but still firm.
Slice the chicken sausage into 1/4-inch rounds.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the diced red onion and red bell pepper to the skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.
Add the sliced chicken sausage and par-cooked sweet potatoes to the skillet, spreading them into an even layer.
Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to allow the potatoes and sausage to develop a golden-brown crust, then stir and cook for another 3 minutes.
Stir in the rinsed black beans, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, cooking for 2 minutes until the beans are heated through.
Add the baby kale to the skillet and toss gently for 1 minute until the greens are just wilted, then serve immediately.
