Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Meanwhile, peel and chop the sweet potatoes into 1" cubes.
2
Toss the potatoes in 2 tbsp of olive oil and spread on two baking sheets. I lined my sheets with tin foil first for an easier clean up.
3
Roast for 20-30 min. Toss halfway and check on them. You want them soft and just a little roasted on the sides (if you prefer them that way).
4
While they are roasting, prepare the dressing.
5
Whisk 2 tbsp of olive oil, pureed pepper and balsamic vinegar.
6
Add salt and pepper to taste.
7
Once sweet potatoes are done roasting and cooled, combine them in a large bowl with the cranberries, chopped pecans, chives and any other mix-ins you may have added. Carefully pour in the dressing a little at a time and combine the salad until it contains the right amount of dressing you'd like. I usually use all of it.
8
Cover and refrigerate.
