Roasted Sweet Potato Broccoli Salad

This roasted sweet potato broccoli salad is a straightforward salad that can be prepared as a side dish or even as a main dish. It can also be the perfect addition to your holiday table and will go well with my Sweet Potato Souffle recipe.

It’s nutrient-packed and full of vitamins and minerals. I added pumpkin seeds, but you can substitute them with other seeds or nuts of your choice.

Roasted Sweet Potato Broccoli Salad Ingredients

1. Sweet Potato: A large sweet potato, cubed to yield about 2 cups, serves as a hearty, nutritious base for this salad. Sweet potatoes are a rich source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, including vitamin A, which supports vision, and antioxidants that combat inflammation.
2. Broccoli Florets: Two cups of chopped broccoli, chopped into bite-sized pieces, add a crisp, earthy flavor and a host of health benefits. Broccoli contains vitamins C and K, fiber, and compounds that support health and may protect against certain diseases.
3. Olive Oil:Use one tablespoon of olive oil to roast the vegetables, which adds a subtle richness and helps absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Celebrated for its heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, olive oil boosts the dish’s nutritional profile.
4. Garlic: Two chopped cloves of garlic infuse the salad with a pungent, aromatic flavor. Garlic boosts the immune system and reduces heart disease risk factors, earning recognition for its health benefits.
5. Sea Salt: Added to taste, sea salt enhances the natural flavors of the vegetables.

Tahini Dressing Ingredients

1. Tahini Paste: Additionally, made from ground sesame seeds, this dressing has a creamy texture and a nutty flavor. Tahini is a good source of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, particularly calcium and magnesium.
2. Water is used to adjust the consistency of the dressing to your liking.
3. Lime Juice: Or lemon, if preferred, adds a fresh, tangy note to the dressing, enhancing its flavor profile. Citrus juice also contributes vitamin C and aids in iron absorption from the vegetables.
4. Cilantro leaves bring a fresh, herbal brightness to the dressing, complementing the earthy flavors of the salad. Cilantro is known for its detoxifying properties and numerous health benefits.
5. The green onion adds a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a crunch that contrasts nicely with the creamy dressing and roasted vegetables.
6. Cumin: Introduces a warm, earthy spice to the dressing, adding depth to its flavor. Cumin is also noted for its digestive benefits and ability to boost the immune system.
7. Garlic: reinforces the robust flavor in the dressing, pairing well with the cumin and tahini.
8. Sea salt balances and enhances the amalgamation of flavors, making them more pronounced and cohesive.
