Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ cups peeled, cubed sweet potatoes
1 teaspoon olive oil, or more as needed
salt to taste
¼ cup walnuts
¼ cup almonds
¼ cup pumpkin seeds
¼ cup dried cranberries
4 cups fresh spinach
1 avocado, chopped
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add sweet potatoes and boil until tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Spread out sweet potatoes on an oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. Add walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and cranberries during the last 5 minutes of roasting and mix with the sweet potatoes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
  • Arrange spinach on a salad platter. Spread warm sweet potato-nut mixture on top, add chopped avocado, and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Mix gently with salad tongs before serving.
