Serves: 1, Difficulty: Expert

Ingredients

• 1 sweet potato (approximately 200 grams)
• 10 grams of corn syrup
• 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
• 1 gram salt
• 1 gram black pepper

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.
