  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the sweet potato cubes with the olive oil and maple syrup. In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika, then toss the sweet potatoes with it. Roast for 15 minutes, flip and roast for 10 to 15 minutes more. Use the potato warm or cold – it’s your preference!
  2. Add the chopped greens to a large bowl and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper. Toss the greens with the potato, oranges, arils and feta. Top with the vinaigrette and serve.
