Ingredients

• 4 medium Sweet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 2 stalks Celery stalks
• 1.5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Wash, peel, and cube the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle the sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to ensure they're evenly coated.

Step 4

Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and lightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and let them cool to room temperature.

Step 5

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, thinly slice the red onion and chop the parsley and celery into small pieces. Set aside.

Step 6

In a small mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk until the dressing is well-emulsified.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, red onion, parsley, and celery. Pour the dressing over the mixture and gently toss until everything is well coated.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
