instructions
1 Start the sweet potato

Remove the honey from the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Line a sheet pan with foil. Halve the sweet potato lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces. Place on the sheet pan; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and half the spice blend. Toss to coat; arrange in an even layer on one side of the sheet pan. Roast 9 minutes. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven.

2 Prepare the remaining ingredients

Meanwhile, medium dice the baguette; place in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and the remaining spice blend. Quarter, core, and thinly slice the pear.

3 Make the croutons

Reserving the bowl, place the diced baguette on the other side of the sheet pan of partially roasted sweet potato. Roast 9 to 11 minutes, or until the croutons are lightly browned and the sweet potato is tender.

4 Make the salad & serve your dish

In the reserved bowl, combine the harissa paste, honey, vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Add the arugula, roasted sweet potato, croutons and sliced pear. Season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Enjoy!
