Harvest Salad with Sweet Potatoes
and beets / hard-boiled eggs
We're keeping things fresh with this meal that feels like a transition to fall. If the weather is still warm, you can make everything ahead and serve it room temperature or slightly chilled.
Smarts: If prepping right before cooking, be sure to get the beets roasting before continuing with your prep. You can add the sweet potatoes to the oven when the beets are about halfway finished.

Harvest Bowl with Sweet Potatoes and Chickpeas:
- Beets - 1 lb

Prep
- Roast beets - Heat oven to 400F / 204C. Scrub and trim ends off beets. Place beets into a baking dish and fill with about 1/2” / 1.3 cm of water. Cover with foil and roast for 45 to 60 minutes, depending on size of beets. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)

- Peel and cube beets - When beets have cooled completely, peel off skins with a spoon and chop into bite-sized pieces. Store in their own container (they will turn everything they touch purple). (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
