Sweet Potato Panzanella

Description

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 :
    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
