To Prepare the Bowl:

Bake, and toss again half, through – up to 35 minutes. Towards the end, set the oven on broil 450° F (232°C)and leave them to roast for approx. 5 more minutes until slightly charred (if preferred).
2. While the sweet potatoes are baking, cook the black rice. Rinse rice, and set aside. Add veggie stock to a medium sized saucepan/ pot and place it on the stove top. Bring to a boil. Add the rinsed rice with one teaspoon of salt. Reduce the stove temperature to medium for the next 5 minutes, then simmer for up to 20 minutes, until rice is tender. Drain the remaining stock (if any), and set aside to cool.
3. If using already packaged baby kale, add the amount to a mixing bowl, otherwise clean, and rip the leafy part of the kale off of the rib. In a small cup mix the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil, lemon juice, coconut aminos, and the fresh ground pepper. Add the mixture over the kale and massage gently, rubbing the leaves in the palm of your hand. Massage for up to 5 minutes. Set aside and cover with a clean towel until ready to serve.
4. While kale is resting prep the lemon-miso dressing.In a small bowl, add the lemon juice from the lemon (strained from seeds), miso paste, maple syrup, adobo seasoning, and coconut water. Mix well using a small whisk or a teaspoon. Refrigerate until ready to serve
