Fall Flavors: Roasted Sweet Potato & Bacon Salad

Introducing: Roasted Sweet Potato and Bacon Salad

As the fall season is upon us, I find myself craving hearty and comforting dishes that incorporate the flavors of the season. Today, I’m excited to share with you my recipe for Roasted Sweet Potato and Bacon Salad, a unique and delicious twist on the classic potato salad that is sure to impress your taste buds.

To begin, gather the following ingredients:

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp dijon mustard
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• baking sheet
• mixing bowl
• whisk
• saute pan

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the diced sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized.

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, cook the bacon in a saute pan until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and crumble it into small pieces. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, honey, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.

Once the sweet potatoes are done, let them cool slightly before transferring them to a large mixing bowl. Add the cooked bacon, sliced red onion, and dressing to the bowl. Gently toss everything together until well combined.

Serve the Roasted Sweet Potato and Bacon Salad warm or at room temperature for the best flavor experience.
