Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. In a small bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer.
4. Roast for 30 minutes, or until tender and lightly caramelized on the edges.
5. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the dressing. Add honey, lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and dried thyme to a small jar with a lid. Shake well until combined.
6. In a shallow serving bowl, add the arugula, blueberries, goat cheese, pepitas, and pine nuts.
7. Top with warm roasted sweet potatoes and drizzle with about 1 teaspoon of honey lemon vinaigrette. Serve immediately.
