Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
Place the sweet potato cubes onto a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
Toss the sweet potatoes until they are evenly coated, then spread them out into a single layer on the baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and starting to brown. Stir halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, core and dice the red bell pepper, and finely chop the red onion.
Chop the fresh cilantro and parsley finely.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the juice of the lime, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder to make the dressing.
In a large serving bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and parsley.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if desired.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 3 days to enhance the flavors.
