Steps

Step 1: Preparing the Sweet Potatoes

Preparing the Sweet Potatoes
  • 2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in 1–inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Method

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) for a convection oven or 475°F (245°C) for a conventional oven.

Toss the sweet potatoes with the vinegar, freshly-ground black pepper, and cinnamon.

On a non–stick sheet pan, or one lined with parchment or a silpat, spread out the potatoes evenly. Place in the oven and roast, turning vegetables over once, for 15-20 minutes or until tender and slightly browned.

Let the potatoes cool until they are near room temperature.

Step 2: Preparing the Dressing

Preparing the Dressing
  • 1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tbsp liquid sweetener
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, minced

Method

Prepare the dressing while the potatoes are roasting.

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining balsamic vinegar, honey, cinnamon and chives.

Step 3: Finishing the Dish

Finishing the Dish
  • 4 cups baby arugula
  • 1 small fennel bulb, thinly shaved on mandolin

Method

To finish the dish, in a large bowl, gently toss together the arugula and shaved fennel. Next, add the potatoes, drizzle with dressing and toss.

To serve, place a large helping of salad on a plate and sprinkle with toasted seeds or nuts for an added crunch.

    What could be a replacement for white balsamic vinegar, since it's hard to find where I live?

    You could use dark balsamic, or a light colored vinegar such as rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
