Ingredients
  

For the roasted sweet potatoes:

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

For the slaw:

2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded

1 large apple (preferably Granny Smith), thinly sliced

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

For the dressing:

3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

To serve:

1/4 cup toasted walnuts or pecans (optional)

Crumbled feta cheese or a dairy-free alternative (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Roast the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, turning halfway through for even cooking.

      Prepare the Slaw: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, in a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, apple slices, shredded carrots, red onion, and cilantro (if using).

        Make the Dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey/maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

          Combine the Slaw: Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss to combine well. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

            Assemble the Bowls: Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, allow them to cool slightly. Divide the slaw mixture among serving bowls, top with roasted sweet potatoes, and sprinkle with toasted nuts and feta cheese if desired.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve the bowls immediately as a refreshing, wholesome meal or side dish. Toss gently before eating for a delightful mix of flavors!
