Instructions
Step 1: Roast the Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and cinnamon until well-coated.
- Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized around the edges.
Step 2: Prepare the Sage Infused Cranberries
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine cranberries, honey (or maple syrup), water, and fresh sage leaves.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and discard the sage leaves. Let the cranberries cool slightly; they will continue to thicken as they cool.
Step 3: Toast the Pecans
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a small skillet over medium heat.
- Add the pecans to the dry skillet and toast for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Once fragrant and slightly golden, remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Step 4: Assemble the Dressing
- In a small bowl or mason jar, whisk together the olive oil, fresh orange juice, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 5: Assemble the Warm Sweet Potato Bowl
- Arrange a bed of baby arugula or mixed greens in serving bowls.
- Divide the roasted sweet potatoes evenly among the bowls.
- Tear the burrata into pieces and distribute evenly over the sweet potatoes.
- Spoon the sage-infused cranberries over the top and sprinkle with toasted pecans.
- Drizzle the orange-balsamic dressing over the entire dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and orange zest, if desired.
