Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Place the sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sea salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are soft and lightly golden. Stir halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, finely dice the red bell pepper and red onion, and chop the fresh parsley. Slice the scallions into thin rounds.
In a small mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, 0.5 teaspoon of ground cumin, 0.5 teaspoon of ground coriander, and 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder. Whisk together until well combined to make the dressing.
Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, diced red bell pepper, diced red onion, chopped parsley, and sliced scallions.
Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetables and sweet potatoes. Gently toss everything together until well coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
Garnish with extra parsley before serving, if desired.
