Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet for even roasting.
  2. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast sweet potatoes for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway; they should be tender and golden brown.
  4. While the potatoes roast, whisk together olive oil, fresh lime juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
  5. Once sweet potatoes are slightly cooled, mix them with red onion, dried cranberries, and cilantro in a bowl. Drizzle with vinaigrette and toss gently.
  6. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds over the top just before serving for added crunch, and chill for 30 minutes if desired.
