Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 cups arugula
- 0.5 cups walnuts
- 0.5 cups dried cranberries
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Place them on the lined baking sheet.
Drizzle the sweet potato cubes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through cooking for even roasting.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, yellow mustard, honey, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the arugula, toasted walnuts, dried cranberries, and roasted sweet potatoes.
Drizzle the mustard dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss until everything is well coated.
Serve the salad warm, either on its own or as a side dish. Enjoy!
