For the roasted vegetables
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

- 4 carrots, peeled and chopped
- Salt, pepper and olive oil
- Optional: 3 beets, peeled and chopped
For the dressing

To serve
- 12 oz greens of choice (I like spinach or a mix of spinach, arugula and baby kale)

Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400 and spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray or olive oil. Add the sweet potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and optional beets to the cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Roast for 40-50 minutes, flipping and re-seasoning halfway through.

- 3. To serve: drizzle some of the dressing on the bottom of the salad bowl. Place the greens on top, then the goat cheese and roasted veggies. Toss to coat before serving.
