Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them completely dry with a paper towel.
Using a fork, pierce each sweet potato 5-6 times all over. This allows steam to escape during baking.
Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then use your hands to rub it evenly over the entire surface of each potato. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and black pepper.
Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the skins are slightly crisp and the flesh is completely tender when pierced with a knife. The exact time will depend on the size of your potatoes.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice open lengthwise, fluff the inside with a fork, and serve hot with your favorite toppings.
Prepare the salad vegetables. Wash and chop the romaine lettuce. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber and red onion, and chop the bell pepper. Shred the carrot. Place all prepared vegetables in a large salad bowl.
Make the vinaigrette dressing. In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously or seal the jar and shake well until the dressing is emulsified and well combined.
Toss and serve the salad. Just before serving, pour about half of the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat. Add more dressing as needed to your preference. Top with croutons and serve immediately.
