4 servings
For the salad
- 2 lbs sweet potatoes (about 2 large), peeled and cut into ¾-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp fine sea salt, divided
- 6 oz uncured pork bacon, no added spices or sugar, cut into ½-inch pieces
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced (green and light green parts only)
Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis flags onions because alliums can irritate a sensitive bladder, but this recipe uses only the milder scallion green tops, which is likely fine for most. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
For the dressing
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp raw honey
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
Ingredient noteTurmeric can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/8 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid turmeric, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
Ingredient noteGround ginger can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid ground ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the sweet potato cubes on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp of the sea salt. Toss to coat, then spread back into a single layer.

Roast the sweet potatoes for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the edges are caramelized and a fork slides in without resistance. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and let cool for 5 minutes.
