Ingredients
Scale
4 medium-sized beets, scrubbed and trimmed
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into cubes
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped
Mixed greens (such as arugula or spinach) for serving
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet. Roast for about 50-60 minutes, until tender.
Spread the sweet potatoes on another baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cumin. Roast for 25-30 minutes.
Cool the beets slightly, then peel and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
Whisk together the remaining olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper in a bowl for the dressing.
Combine the roasted beets, sweet potatoes, feta, parsley, and half of the walnuts in a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss gently.
Serve over a bed of mixed greens, topped with the remaining walnuts.
