Place all of the cut vegetables onto a baking sheet along with the garlic. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil; toss to coat.
Roast for 15-25 minutes or until vegetables start to brown. If some vegetables are cooking faster than others, you can pull those from the baking sheet and set aside.
While the root vegetables are in the oven, heat about a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan. Sauté kale over medium heat until wilted. Combine kale and roasted root vegetables in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve.

Notes
Tips for making these easy roasted veggies:
Cut sweet potatoes in similar size chunks. Cut the cauliflower and peppers slightly larger than the sweet potatoes. By doing so, the veggies should all be cooked through and browning at about the same time.
For more even browning, stir the vegetables about halfway through the cooking time.
If you have fresh herbs in the garden, feel free to chop a tablespoon or so onto the tray for an extra burst of flavor.
Drizzle a little bit of balsamic vinegar over these roasted vegetables for another easy flavor burst.
