Ingredients
  • 1 sweet potato, diced into ½ inch chunks
  • ½ Tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ tsp. dried rosemary
  • ⅛ tsp. nutmeg
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1 cup brussel sprouts, measured then quartered
  • ¼ cup fresh pomegranate seeds
  • ¼ cup pecans, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds, optional
  • 8 cups baby romaine mix, spring mix, or baby spinach leaves
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375° F. Dice the sweet potato into ½ inch cubes and spread onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Toss the cubes in olive oil, rosemary, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes, tossing halfway through until a fork is easily inserted in a potato piece yet they are still firm.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and add coconut oil. Quarter your brussel sprouts, add to heated pan, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until they turn bright green and some sides are lightly caramelized, about 7 minutes.
  3. When you're ready to eat, toss 1 cup of the prepared sweet potatoes, prepared brussel sprouts, lettuce, pomegranates and nuts, if using, with desired amount of dressing. I usually use most of the dressing but this is up to your preference! Serve immediately.
