Serves 4

2	medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
¾	cup, plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3	tablespoons honey
1½	teaspoons ground cumin
¼	teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
	Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
½	cup walnut halves
6	ounces baby lettuces, such as arugula, frisée, and red oak
½	cup feta, crumbled
¼	cup apple cider vinegar
¾	teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, toss the sweet potatoes together with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of honey, ¾ teaspoon of cumin, and the Cayenne pepper. Season with salt and black pepper. Spread the potatoes out into a single layer on the baking sheet.
2. Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle the walnuts over the potatoes and toss together with a spatula. Continue to roast until the potatoes are tender and the walnuts are fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes more. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
3. In a large serving bowl, toss the cooled potatoes and walnuts with the baby lettuces and feta cheese. In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining ¾ cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon of honey, and ¾ teaspoon of cumin with the cider vinegar and the cinnamon. Season this dressing to taste with salt and black pepper, and drizzle over the salad before serving.
