Ingredients

2 servings

600 - 700 g / 1.2 - 1.4 lb sweet potato (, peeled (2 medium))
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
100 g / 3.5 oz rocket salad / arugula ((~3 handfuls))
1/2 cup (70g / 5 oz) pecans
1 tsp oil
100 g / 3.5 oz bacon (, chopped (I used lean))
60 g / 2 oz Goats Cheese or Danish feta ((Note 1))
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp lemon juice (, fresh)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper (, to taste)

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!
