Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and chop the beets and sweet potatoes into even-sized cubes. Spread on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  2. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through until fork-tender and slightly golden. Let cool for a few minutes.
  3. Prepare the whipped ricotta by blending ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt until smooth, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Combine tahini, fresh lemon juice, and water in a small bowl, whisking until smooth and creamy.
  5. In a large bowl, layer fresh greens, arrange roasted beets and sweet potatoes, slice avocado and scatter over the salad, then dollop whipped ricotta on top.
  6. Drizzle with lemon-tahini sauce and garnish with herbs or toasted nuts as desired.
