Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 tbsp olive oil (2 tbsp for roasting, 2 tbsp for dressing)
  • 4 cups baby spinach, washed and dried
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • ⅓ cup pecan halves, toasted
  • ⅓ cup dried cranberries
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Toss them with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast the sweet potatoes for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
  4. Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the dressing.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, combine baby spinach, roasted sweet potatoes, sliced red onion, crumbled feta, toasted pecans, and dried cranberries.
  7. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
  8. Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with extra feta or pecans if desired, and serve.

[‘Ensure sweet potato cubes are evenly sized for consistent roasting.’, ‘Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to avoid steaming.’, ‘Adjust the sweetness of the dressing to your preference.’, ‘Toast nuts for deeper flavor and crunch.’, ‘Store components separately if preparing ahead and toss together before serving.’]
