Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. 
  • Make the vinaigrette: Combine all vinaigrette ingredients in a mason jar. Shake well. Set aside.
  • Place sweet potatoes in a large bowl, and add 1/4 cup olive oil, minced garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Toss to combine. Pour onto a baking tray and roast for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
