Equipment

  • oven
  • baking sheet
  • Large bowl
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz sweet potato cut into cubes
  • 12 oz beets about 2 medium beets, cut into cubes
  • 5 oz red onion about ½ medium onion, roughly chopped
  • 1.5 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 oz spring mix or other greens of choice
  • ⅓ cup walnuts roughly chopped
  • salt
  • pepper
  • Maple Balsamic Dressing recipe link below

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 410 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl combine peeled and cubed sweet potatoes, beets, chopped red onion and 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt and ground black pepper and mix gently to coat.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (or aluminum foil) and spread the veggies in one even layer.
  • Roast for 30-35 minutes until the beets are fork tender and sweet potatoes lightly browned on the edges.
  • While the veggies are roasting, make the dressing using this Maple Balsamic Dressing recipe.
  • Once the beets, sweet potatoes and onions are out of the oven, leave them out to cool for at least 10 minutes.
  • Place spring mix (or other greens) in a large bowl or platter. Top with cooled roasted veggies, sprinkle chopped walnuts on top and drizzle with dressing.
  • Serve as is or toss the salad to distribute the dressing around right before plating.

Notes

Roasting time depends on the size of your veggies. If you cut your beets and sweet potatoes small, check them after 20 minutes. Larger cubes will need 30 minutes or more. Wear latex gloves while peeling and cutting the beets to avoid staining. You can toast the walnuts before adding them to the salad if desired.
