Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. On the same sheet, spread out the sweet potato cubes in a single layer. Roast everything for about 30–35 minutes, until tender.
  2. While the vegetables roast, prepare the lemon-tahini drizzle. Whisk together tahini, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a mixing bowl, add ricotta cheese and beat until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Adjust with water if necessary.
  4. Once the vegetables cool, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and cut into pieces. Drizzle with lemon juice.
  5. In a large serving bowl, layer fresh greens, followed by the roasted beets, sweet potatoes, and avocado pieces. Add whipped ricotta and drizzle with lemon-tahini sauce.
  6. Sprinkle with toasted nuts/seeds and fresh herbs, if using, and serve immediately.
