Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Slice the red onion into thin wedges.
  4. Wash and dry the mixed salad greens.
Cooking
  1. Place the sweet potatoes and red onion on a baking sheet.
  2. Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Toss to coat evenly and spread them into a single layer.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and golden, stirring halfway through.
Serving

  2. In a large bowl, combine the salad greens and the roasted sweet potato mixture.
  3. Drizzle with vinegar, toss gently, and serve immediately for the best flavor.

Notes

For a crispier texture, ensure the sweet potatoes are spread out on the baking sheet without overcrowding. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for enhanced freshness. Consider adding nuts or seeds for extra crunch and nutrition. Experiment with different vinegars for varied flavor profiles. Let the salad rest for a few minutes after tossing, allowing the flavors to meld.
