Ingredients
Scale
- 1 kg kumara (sweet potato), peeled and cubed
- 200g smoked bacon, chopped
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 100g baby spinach leaves
- 50g walnuts, roughly chopped
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6). Toss the cubed kumara with a tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread it out in a single layer on a baking tray.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the kumara is tender and slightly caramelised.
- While the kumara is roasting, cook the chopped bacon in a frying pan over medium heat until crispy. Drain the bacon on kitchen paper to remove excess fat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey or maple syrup. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large bowl, combine the roasted kumara, crispy bacon, sliced red onion, and baby spinach leaves. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
- Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the salad just before serving.
