01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the sweet potatoes out on a baking sheet, give them a quick spray with cooking spray, and sprinkle with half a teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Pop them in the oven and roast until they’re nice and tender, about 20 minutes. Once they’re done, take them out and let them cool completely in the fridge.

Step 2
While the potatoes are cooling, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, brown sugar, a pinch of sea salt, and half a teaspoon of black pepper in a small bowl. Let this dressing sit for at least five minutes so the flavors can meld.

Step 3
When everything is ready, combine the chilled sweet potatoes with the mango, onion, cilantro, avocado, green onion, and habanero pepper in a big bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until it’s all nicely coated. Enjoy!

How to serve

Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Keep any dressing separate until ready to serve to maintain the salad’s freshness. For best results, add mango right before serving to avoid mushiness.
