Lunch
Sweet Potato Panzanella
This is my favorite lunch dish during the fall season. Every bite is filled with flavor and texture, but it isn't too high in calories.
INGREADIENT
- 2 cups cubed peeled sweet potatoes
- 4 cups cubed French bread
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 4 cups fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup minced fresh basil
- 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
- 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
Direction
- Preheat oven to 450°. Place the sweet potatoes in a large saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, covered, until just tender, 8-12 minutes. Drain; cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, toss the bread cubes with 2 Tbsp. oil, salt and pepper. Spread evenly in an ungreased 15x10x1-in. pan. Bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; cool slightly.
- Add spinach, red onion, herbs and sweet potatoes to toasted bread. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar and remaining oil. Drizzle over salad; toss gently to combine.
