How to Make Nutty Sweet Potato Salad
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Chop 2 large sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
- Toss sweet potato cubes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- While sweet potatoes roast, whisk together ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon five-spice powder, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl.
