Ingredients:

• purple sweet potatoes (200g)
• blood oranges (2)
• fennel bulbs (2)
• pistachios (50g)
• honey (50g)
• extra-virgin olive oil (50ml)
• sea salt

Kitchen Tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• vegetable peeler
• citrus juicer
• baking sheet

Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and slice the purple sweet potatoes into thin rounds. Place them on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the fennel by thinly slicing it and setting it aside. Segment the blood oranges using a sharp knife to remove the peel and pith, then cut into bite-sized pieces. Crush the pistachios into smaller chunks using a mortar and pestle.

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, and a pinch of sea salt to create a dressing. Toss the roasted sweet potatoes, fennel, blood oranges, and pistachios in the dressing until evenly coated.

To serve, arrange the colorful mixture on a large platter, allowing the vibrant hues to shine through. The combination of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors will tantalize your taste buds and transport you to a world of culinary artistry.
