How to Make Sweet Potato And Ginger Salad

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
  6. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the dressing: Whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  7. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly.
  8. In a large bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, chopped red onion, shredded carrots, and chopped cilantro.
  9. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds (optional).
