Roast the Sweet Potatoes

1
|
Preheat the oven to 400°F (conventional oven). Wash the sweet potato thoroughly (peel if desired) and cut into roughly ½-inch cubes. In a bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with the oil and Mexican spice mix until evenly coated, then spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast the sweet potato cubes in the oven for about 25–30 minutes, until the edges are crispy and the insides are tender.

Prepare the Dressing

1
|
Meanwhile, wash the cilantro thoroughly, shake dry, and remove the thick stems. Place the leaves (with the thin stems) in a blender. Squeeze the lime and add the olive oil and garlic. Blend until smooth and creamy, with no chunks remaining. Season the dressing with salt and pepper, and, if desired, a little agave syrup to taste.

Salad

1
|
Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Cut the avocado flesh into small cubes. Drain the black beans, rinse them thoroughly, and let them drain well.
2
|
Take the sweet potatoes out of the oven and let them cool for about 2–3 minutes. In a large salad bowl, combine the roasted sweet potato cubes, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and black beans. Crumble the feta with your fingers and stir it into the salad along with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve warm.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Sweet Potato Roasting Perfection 🥔
    Cut sweet potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even roasting, and use parchment paper to prevent sticking and achieve maximum crispy edges.
  • Avocado Preservation Hack 🥑
    To prevent avocado browning, dice it just before serving and toss with a squeeze of fresh lime juice, which adds flavor while keeping it vibrant and fresh.
  • Mexican Spice Mix Magic 🌶️
    Toast your Mexican spice mix in a dry pan for 30-60 seconds before adding to the recipe to intensify the aromatics and unlock deeper flavor profiles.
  • Dressing Emulsion Technique 🥄
    Whisk the lime-cilantro dressing ingredients slowly while drizzling in oil to create a stable emulsion that coats ingredients evenly and prevents separation.
  • Black Bean Preparation Pro 🫘
    Rinse canned black beans thoroughly under cold water to remove excess sodium and improve texture, then pat dry to prevent diluting the salad's flavors.
