Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 cups mixed salad greens
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 0.25 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Place the sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, then toss to combine.
Spread the sweet potatoes into a single layer and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, thinly slice the red onion and set it aside.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper in a small bowl.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, roasted sweet potatoes, red onion slices, crumbled feta cheese, and pumpkin seeds.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Roasted Sweet Potato Salad!
