Time 1h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the baking sheet
6 cups 1/2-inch-diced sweet potatoes (4 to 6 large sweet potatoes; I leave the skin on but peeling is an option)

4 scallions, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Toss the sweet potatoes in a large bowl with the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Stir the potatoes and continue to bake until fork-tender, an additional 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds sweet potatoes, scrubbed, quartered lengthwise, and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
2 pounds medium cremini or white button mushrooms, stems trimmed, caps halved (or quartered, if large)
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/4 cup olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 to 3 bunches arugula (about 12 ounces), stems trimmed

Baked Tortilla Strips, or store-bought tortilla chips, crumbled, for serving (optional)
Goat cheese, crumbled (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On 2 large, rimmed baking sheets, toss together sweet potatoes, mushrooms, cumin, and oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Roast, rotating sheets halfway through, until vegetables are tender, browned, and dry, about 40 minutes. Reserve 4 cups sweet potatoes and mushrooms (see Cook's Note below).
  • In a large bowl, combine arugula with the sauteed corn and 6 cups of the roasted sweet potatoes and mushrooms; toss until arugula wilts slightly. (If you don't have leftover sauteed corn, dress the salad with a simple vinaigrette.) Serve immediately, topped with tortilla strips and crumbled goat cheese, if desired.
