Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 2 large peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp finely ground dried eucalyptus leaves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper until evenly coated.
- Step 2: Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and caramelized at the edges.
- Step 3: Meanwhile, whisk together 2 tbsp honey and 3 tbsp fresh lime juice in a small bowl to create the dressing.
- Step 4: Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, transfer them to a large salad bowl. Add 4 cups mixed salad greens and 1/4 cup toasted pepitas. Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine before serving.
