Ingredients
- 1 ¼ pound sweet potatoes peeled and cut into ¾-inch pieces
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- 4 teaspoons pure maple syrup (see Note 1)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (See Note 2)
- 8 cups arugula
- ¼ cup sliced almonds lightly toasted in a dry skillet
- ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (See Note 3)
- ¼ cup Maple Dijon Dressing or less/more to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, with one rack set in the center position and a second rack set in the lowest position. Lightly coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Place the sweet potaotes in a medium-sized bowl. Toss them with the olive oil, maple syrup, salt, pepper, ground cinnamon and cayenne pepper (optional). Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and arrange in a single layer.
- Roast the sweet potatoes on the center rack for 20 minutes. Using a large spatula, gently flip the potatoes, returning them to a single layer. Roast on the bottom rack for an additional 10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and golden brown on the bottom side. Cool slightly.
- In a serving bowl, toss the arugula with the toasted almonds and Parmesan cheese. Add the roasted sweet potatoes and Maple Dijon Dressing. Toss gently to combine. Serve.
Notes
- Note 1: Opt for pure maple syrup (the real stuff) rather than corn syrup-based syrup. The flavor difference is noticeable!
- Note 2: Feel free to decrease or increase the cayenne pepper, depending on how much spice you like. Or leave it out altogether.
- Note 3: If following a vegetarian diet, look for Parmesan cheese that's made with vegetable or microbial rennet rather than animal rennet.
