Ingredients
4 cups Sweet potatoes, diced
1 cup Red apple, diced
¼ cup Pomegranate seeds
4 tablespoons Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
2½ teaspoons Extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
¼ teaspoon Salt
⅛ teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling ingredients.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the diced sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Roast for about 10 minutes until the edges begin to soften and lightly caramelize.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and transfer to a plate. Let them cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled roasted sweet potatoes, diced red apple, pomegranate seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1.5 teaspoons of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until combined.
Pour the vinaigrette over the sweet potato mixture and toss gently until all components are lightly coated and well combined. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
Comments
This is a strong fit for Charlotte: sweet potatoes are a regional staple and winter crops are abundant at every major chain, pomegranate arrives reliably November through January at Kroger and Harris Teeter, and all other ingredients are basic pantry items stocked everywhere. The real time is closer to 35 minutes when you account for roasting the sweet potato and chopping the apple and pomegranate, so the stated 25 minutes is misleading for someone planning a weeknight dinner. Cost per serving runs around $2.50–$3, driven by the pomegranate at $3–$4 per fruit, making this a special-occasion dish rather than weeknight rotation. The salad reheats poorly once dressed and does not benefit from sitting, so this is a same-night meal.
