7. Put all the ingredients for the dressing except for the water into a blender. Add the water bit by bit to loosen and blend until smooth.
8. Once the sweet potato is almost soft, add the kale and apple to the tray and roast for another 5 minutes.
9. Remove from the oven and divide the tray bake across two plates, drizzling generously with the dressing to serve.
