Ingredients

Sweet Potato Salad

  • 2 sweet potatoes peeled
  • 1/2 lb Brussels sprouts
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 cup cranberries fresh or frozen
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese
  • pomegranate arils
  • chickpeas optional

Citrus Balsamic Vinaigrette

  • 2 tbsps olive oil
  • 1 tbsp orange juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

Citrus Balsamic Vinaigrette

  1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl or jar.  Whisk together.

    This will stay good in the fridge for a few days, but may need to come to room temperature before it can be used because it gets a bit chunky.  You can also microwave it for 10 seconds or so if needed.

Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.  Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.

  2. Cut the peeled sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes, and slice the Brussels sprouts in half (quarter them if they're big).  Add both to a mixing bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with oil, then toss to evenly combine.

  3. Spread the potato, sprouts, and cranberries in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 25-30 mins, or until the potatoes are tender.  Remove from the oven and return to the mixing bowl.  

  4. Add 1-2 tbsps of the feta and 2 tbsps of the vinaigrette to the potatoes and sprouts, season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss to combine.  Serve with pomegranate arils, and drizzle with a little more dressing or add more feta if desired.  

    Note:  we added some spicy roasted chickpeas to this.  We haven't included a recipe because the Tart just improvised it.
