Ingredients
  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch pieces
  • 1 small red onion*, roughly chopped
  • 6 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Juice and zest from 2 limes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp chili powder

Instructions

  2. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place diced sweet potatoes and red onion on the parchment. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with salt; toss well to coat. Arrange in a single layer and bake for 35-40 minutes or until potatoes begin to brown.
  3. Meanwhile, combine remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil in a jar with the lime juice, 2 teaspoons lime zest, garlic, and chili powder. Shake well.
  4. Transfer roasted sweet potatoes and onion to a bowl. Add in the black beans, pepitas, and cilantro. Drizzle with the dressing and toss until salad is combined. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
Notes
