Roasted Sweet Potato Salad
The combination of ingredients in this salad is magical! Golden caramelised sweet potato that's juicy inside, fresh peppery rocket / arugula, warm soft crunch of pecans, creamy saltiness from goats cheese (or Danish feta), BACON and a drizzle of Honey Lemon Dressing. The dressing is not too sweet...

Steps
-
Preheat oven to 220C / 430F.
-
Cut sweet potato into 1.5cm / 3/5" thick slices. Cut the larger rounds in half (into semi circles).
-
Place in a bowl, drizzle over oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat. Pour onto baking tray.
-
Roast for 20 minutes, then use an egg flip to turn and roast for a further 10 minutes or until golden.
-
Meanwhile, place Dressing ingredients in a jar, mix with a teaspoon (to get honey off the base) then shake well until combined.
-
Toast pecans in a dry skillet over medium high heat for 3 minutes, or until they smell nutty.
-
Remove pecans, then heat 1 tsp oil. Add bacon and cook until golden.
-
To assemble, place everything in a bowl, reserving some bacon, pecans and goats cheese for garnish. Drizzle with most of the dressing, then toss gently.

Transfer into a serving bowl, garnish with remaining bacon, pecans and goats cheese. Drizzle with remaining dressing. Serve!
