  2. 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.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, whisk together 2 tbsp honey and 3 tbsp fresh lime juice in a small bowl to create the dressing.
  4. 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.
