Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the sweet potato cubes with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and 1/4 tsp of the salt on a rimmed baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer. Roast for 20–22 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the edges are golden and a fork slides in without resistance. Set aside to cool slightly.

While the sweet potatoes roast, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and blanch for 2–3 minutes, until bright green and just tender with a slight snap when bent. Transfer immediately to a colander and run under cold water until cool, then pat dry.
