Ingredients

1200 g Sweet potato
1 tbsp Olive oil
2 pcs Shallot
4 pcs Green onions (bunching onions)
15 pcs Chives
5 tbsp Sherry vinegar
2 tbsp Extra Virgin olive oil
2 tbsp Honey

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Cut the sweet potato into medium-sized pieces, coat with olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 30–35 minutes until tender and golden brown. Cool completely to room temperature.
While the potato cools, thinly slice the shallot and green onions. Once the potato has almost completely cooled, whisk together the sherry vinegar, Extra Virgin olive oil, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Gently toss the warm potato with the dressing and sliced vegetables, using your hands to avoid breaking the pieces. Finish by sprinkling with fresh chives just before serving.
