- 3 cups diced sweet potatoes (about 3 med-large peeled sweet potatoes; or pre-cut sweet potatoes)
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil

- 3/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups cups sweet corn (I used frozen that I heated until warm)

- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (plus more for garnish)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spread sweet potatoes onto a non-stick foil lined large sheet pan.
- Drizzle with olive oil, beginning with 2 Tbsp. If you think it needs more, add the extra tbsp.
- Sprinkle with salt and 1/2 tsp of pepper, reserving the remaining 1/4 tsp of pepper. Stir the sweet potatoes around until they are all evenly coated.
- Cook for 25 -30 minutes, until they are browned and fork tender (a little crisp on the outside and soft inside), stirring the sweet potatoes with a spatula every so often.
- Mix roasted sweet potatoes, corn, black beans, bell peppers, cilantro, seasoned salt, remaining 1/4 tsp of black pepper, and lime juice and dressing together (begin with 3 tbsp, and add more as needed).
- Once combined, serve immediately, or serve chilled (this salad tastes great warm, at room temperature, and cold).
