- Cut the sweet potatoes and leeks into uniform sizes to ensure even roasting.
- Roast the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet to allow for proper caramelization.
- Toss the arugula with the roasted vegetables just before serving to prevent it from wilting.
- You can add toasted nuts or seeds for extra crunch and a boost of healthy fats.
- Feel free to add extra herbs like parsley, cilantro, or dill for added flavor.
- Serve the salad warm or at room temperature, but if you prepare it in advance, add the arugula just before serving for optimal texture.
