Instructions
Directions
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make clean-up a breeze.
Prepare Veggies: Toss sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and beets in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Ensure everything is well-coated for delicious flavor.
Roast Veggies: Spread the tossed veggies evenly on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 35-40 minutes until they are fork-tender and caramelized.
Make Dressing: In a jar, combine apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, extra virgin olive oil, and salt. Shake vigorously until emulsified.
Cool Veggies: Once roasted, let the vegetables come to room temperature.
Assemble Salad: In a large bowl, start with a bed of salad greens. Add the cooled roasted veggies, sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and chopped pecans, and drizzle with the dressing.
