Roasted Sweet Potato Salad

This is a super delicious recipe from my cousin (Kristin).  It's healthy and delicious and very easy to make!  This one isn't so "kid friendly", but I had to include it on my blog because it ROCKS in my opinion!!

Enjoy,
Kirsten

ROASTED SWEET POTATO SALAD

4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
Garnish:  fresh rosemary

1)  Preheat oven to 450F.

2)  Coat a large roasting pan with gluten-free cooking spray.

3)  Toss together the sweet potatoes and 1 tablespoon of the oil in the pan.

4)  Bake, uncovered, for 40-45 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender and roasted, stirring after 30 minutes.

5)  Whisk together remaining 1 tablespoon oil, honey and the next 5 ingredients in a large serving bowl.  Add warm potatoes and toss gently.

6)  Cool and garnish if desired.

NOTES:

~I made this a day ahead and warmed it up in the microwave just to take the chill off.  You could even take it out of the fridge and leave it on the counter for a while before serving, to bring it to room temp and it would be great!
