Sweet Potatoes with Kale & Ricotta

4 sweet potatoes
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed and diced
1 bunch kale, thick stems removed, leaves torn into pieces, and washed with water left clinging
coarse salt and ground pepper
1-2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 c. part-skim ricotta cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Scrub sweet potatoes, then dry and prick all over with a fork or poke a paring knife in here and there. Rub with 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and cook 1 hour. Near the end of the cooking time, heat remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook until golden, 1-2 minutes. Transfer garlic to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon. Using the same pan, add as much kale as will fit; season with salt and pepper. Continue to add kale as it cooks down. Cook, tossing frequently, until tender. This will take approximately 3-5 minutes. Stir in balsamic vinegar and crushed red pepper flakes. Transfer kale to bowl with garlic and toss to coat. Remove sweet potatoes from oven. Open and fluff the insides with a fork. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top each with ricotta cheese and kale.
