Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut sweet potatoes into 0.5-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan.

  2. Step 2

    Roast at 425°F until edges are caramelized and centers are tender, about 15 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    While potatoes roast, halve the avocados, scoop into a bowl, and roughly mash with a fork.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk lime juice with remaining 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.

  5. Step 5

    Fold the dressing and cilantro into the mashed avocado until just combined and still chunky.

  6. Step 6

    Top the warm sweet potatoes with avocado mixture, pomegranate seeds, and red onion. Serve immediately.
