Roasted Sweet Potato And Avocado Salad With Castelvetrano Olive Salsa
- 3 Sweet potatoes, cut into wedges
- 2 Avocados, sliced into thick wedges
- 1/3 cup Castelvetrano olives
- 1/2 cup Parsley
- 1/4 cup Mint
- 1 Garlic clove, minced
- 1 Lemon, juiced and zested
- 1/2 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Roast sweet potatoes: Preheat oven to 425. Season sweet potato wedges with salt, pepper, a pinch of red pepper flakes, a drizzle of honey, and a generous glug of olive oil. Place on parchment lined sheet pan and roast for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through until well browned on each side. Allow to cool on sheet pan to maintain integrity (great kitchen hack!).
- Make green olive salsa: Pit olives if necessary and then place on a cutting board with parsley, mint, minced garlic and lemon zest. Chop, chop, chop until almost a paste but with a little more texture. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in a tablespoon of olive oil and juice of half a lemon. Taste and adjust as necessary.
- To plate: Pile roasted sweet potatoes and avocado wedges atop one another and finish with generous spoonfuls of olive pesto. Enjoy!
