1⁄4 cup apple cider vinegar
1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with the avocado oil and fresh thyme. Place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet in a single layer.
2. Roast the sweet potatoes for 20-30 minutes, tossing them around to get them evenly crisp. Remove from the oven once golden and crispy.

4. For the blueberry vinaigrette, add all of the ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.
5. Top the salad with the crispy sweet potatoes and enjoy!
