4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled & cut into 1 inch pieces - you should have about 6 cups of sweet potato (I like to cut them a little bit smaller than 1 inch)
1 red pepper, seeded & cut into 1 inch pieces
2 T. balsamic vinegar
4 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper

Dressing:
1 T. balsamic vinegar
1 T. olive oil
1 tsp. dijon mustard
1 T. maple syrup
1 tsp. minced garlic
4 scallions, thinly sliced

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking tray with foil & spray with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, red pepper, vinegar, oil, basil, salt & pepper; mix well. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden. (I find that it takes longer than 30 minutes for the sweet potatoes to get nicely soft & browned.) Remove from oven & let cool.

Meanwhile, combine vinegar, oil, mustard, maple syrup, & garlic in a large bowl. Add sweet potatoe mixture and scallions & toss to mix well. Serve chilled or at room temp. Keeps for 2-3 days in the fridge.

Can I use regular mustard? I don't want to go buy another one.

It would probably be good with regular mustard. I haven't tried it though.

can you make it without the scallions or are they crucial to the flavor?

Random & suzyq, so glad you enjoyed this recipe! Very Happy

Bubby, so sorry you had that aggravation of it taking so long to bake. I haven't made this in a while, but I also remember being frustrated that it took so long in the oven. The next time I made it I cut the pieces smaller so that it wouldn't take as long. Was it at least enjoyed after all that? Hope so! Smile

I loved it!! I displayed it a la George (a professional chef) - some angel hair pasta on a pretty china plate, then some of the sweet potato salad, topped by seared sea bass. It wasn't really professional like George does it, but it still looked nice.

So I had a lot left over & served it to the hungry bochrim who came for lunch. Much as they fell on it, it seemed to breed. I still have a lot left over. Guess what's for dinner tomorrow?
