Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Spread them evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the sweet potatoes roast, prepare the wild rice according to the package instructions. Generally, combine 1 cup of wild rice with 2 1/4 cups of water or broth in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 35 minutes or until the rice grains are tender and the liquid is absorbed. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to make the dressing.
Place the shredded kale in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the dressing over the kale and massage it with your hands for 1-2 minutes to soften its texture and enhance the flavor.
Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked wild rice, massaged kale, roasted sweet potatoes, apple slices, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted almonds evenly among four serving bowls.
Drizzle the remaining dressing over each bowl and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free Sweetgreen Harvest Bowl!
