Salad
- 2–3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 cups arugula, rinsed and dried
- 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 1/3 cup pomegranate seeds
- 2 tbsp pecans
Seasoning & Dressing
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup BRIANNAS Blush Wine Vinaigrette
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes.
- Season Sweet Potatoes: In a bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes evenly in the air fryer basket and roast for 10 to 14 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until the sweet potatoes are golden and tender.
- Prepare Arugula: While the sweet potatoes roast, rinse and dry the arugula thoroughly to remove any moisture.
- Assemble Salad: In a serving bowl, layer the arugula, then top with the warm roasted sweet potatoes, crumbled goat cheese, pomegranate seeds, and pecans.
- Add Dressing and Toss: Drizzle BRIANNAS Blush Wine Vinaigrette over the salad. Toss gently to combine all ingredients and evenly distribute the dressing.
- Serve: Enjoy this flavorful and colorful sweet potato arugula salad immediately as a side dish or light main course.
Notes
- Ensure sweet potatoes are cut into uniform pieces for even cooking in the air fryer.
- Adjust seasoning of salt and pepper according to taste.
- Can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds for variation.
- Use fresh pomegranate seeds for the best color and flavor impact.
- This salad is best served fresh; leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 1 day but the arugula may wilt.
