How to Make It

1. Step
Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
2. Step
In a medium bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with the olive oil and salt. Transfer to an unlined baking sheet.
3. Step
Roast the sweet potato wedges for 20-25 minutes, until softened and golden brown on the outside.
4. Step
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. Starting with a few drops and steadily increasing the stream, slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking continuously, until the dressing is thickened and emulsified.
5. Step
Transfer the warm sweet potatoes to a large bowl. Toss with 2-3 tablespoons of the dressing until well coated. Add the pomegranate seeds, pistachios, feta, salt and pepper and gently toss to combine. Drizzle with another 1-2 tablespoons of the dressing and toss to coat. Garnish with the chives.
6. Step
Enjoy!
