- 1 fennel bulb (approximately 100 grams)
- 1 pear (approximately 100 grams)
- 5 ml of almond extract
- 10 grams of black olives
- 5 grams of dill, chopped
- 50 grams of coconut yogurt
- 10 ml of olive oil

Method
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
- Peel and slice the sweet potato into 1 cm thick rounds. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and place on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until caramelized and tender.
- While the sweet potato is roasting, thinly slice the fennel bulb and pear, and place in a bowl.
- In a small bowl, mix the corn syrup and almond extract. Drizzle this mixture over the roasting sweet potato during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
- Incorporate the chopped dill and black olives into the fennel and pear mixture. Toss lightly to combine.
- Plate the roasted sweet potato with a generous dollop of coconut yogurt on the side.
- Arrange the fennel and pear salad around the sweet potato. Garnish with a fresh sprig of dill.
- Serve immediately and savor the exquisite flavors of this Canadian Vegetarian dish.
Tips
- For additional texture, lightly toast the fennel and pear slices in a dry pan before incorporating into the salad.
- Ensure the sweet potato is caramelized for a richer, more complex flavor profile.
- Fresh dill adds a unique flavor, but parsley or coriander can be used as substitutes if dill is unavailable.
