Instructions

For the Sweet Potatoes:
2. Preheat you oven to 400 degrees.
4. Line a baking sheet with foil and drizzle 2 tbsp of olive oil over it. Spread it around. When the oven heats up place the baking sheet in the oven for 5-8 mins. You don’t want the oil to smoke just to get it to shimmer. Our oven is small and heats up quickly so this took about 5 mins.
6. In the meantime, add potatoes, the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to a large bowl. Mix until it’s all evenly coated.
8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and put the potatoes on the sheet. They should make the oil sizzle. Flatten them before putting back in the oven.
10. Bake for 20 minutes, then turn them over for another 15 minutes.
12. Remove from the oven and let cool (unless you like hot sweet potatoes in your salad).
For the Pepitas:
Toasting pepitas are so easy!
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Add your pepitas to the skillet and shake them every few minutes for about 5-10 minutes.
6. Remove from heat and the skillet when they start to toast and turn brown.
For the Salad:
2. Start with the greens.
4. Add sweet potatoes, apples, and Craisins.
6. Sprinkle onions and toasted pepitas.
8. Layer the crumbled goat cheese on top.
10. Top it off with the honey-dijon dressing. For this recipe, you’re going to have to buy Cravings 2!
