Roasted Sweet Potato, Fennel & Carrot Salad

Recipe:

Step 1: Place the sweet potatoes on a flat tray and pour over a 1/4 cup of olive oil or enough to roast them nicely. Pop them in the oven at 350°F for 30 minutes or until they’re golden and crispy.

Step 2: When the potatoes have been in the oven for approximately 20 minutes, place the fennel and carrots under a grill for about 10 minutes on a medium heat. You may pour a little olive oil over these if you like.

Step 3: Once all the vegetables are ready, put them in a bowl and add the balsamic vinegar, the leftover olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
