Creating this Vegan Roasted Sweet Potato Salad is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
3. Season: In a bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
4. Roast: Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
5. Prepare Salad Base: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, wash and dry your mixed greens and place them in a large salad bowl.
6. Add Garnishes: After the sweet potatoes are done, add them to the greens along with the sliced red onion, pumpkin seeds, and dried cranberries.
7. Toss: Gently toss the ingredients together to combine.
8. Serve: Season with additional salt and pepper as needed, and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

This simple yet delicious process will make preparing the Vegan Roasted Sweet Potato Salad an enjoyable experience.
