Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 2 stalks Scallions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Place the sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and toss to coat evenly.
Roast sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, finely chop the red onion and bell pepper, and roughly chop the cilantro.
In a small bowl, combine lime juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, and ground cumin. Whisk to create the dressing.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and thinly slice the scallions.
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, allow them to cool slightly before adding them to a large mixing bowl.
Add the red onion, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, scallions, and cilantro to the bowl with the sweet potatoes.
Pour the dressing over the mixture and gently toss to combine all ingredients.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. Stir before serving.
