Appliances & Utensils
sheet pan
knife & cutting board
colander
large skillet and spatula
parchment paper
additional bowl
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Wash the sweet potato, bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower in the colander. Wash the watermelon if using a whole watermelon.
Cut the sweet potato into cubes. Slice the bell pepper into strips. Cut the watermelon into cubes and place in a separate bowl.
Spread the sweet potato, bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower onto the sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Sprinkle with ½ tsp Kosher salt. Toss to coat evenly. Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and veggies are slightly golden.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken tenderloins, and 1 1/2 tsp of the pepper spice blend to cove the chicken.
Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden and fully cooked through (internal temp: 165°F). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
For the watermelon side dish, rinse and pat dry the mint leaves. Chop finely and sprinkle over the watermelon cubes just before serving. Top each serving with a light drizzle of Dark Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar.
Assemble the plates with roasted veggies, sliced chicken, and a side of watermelon mint salad. Enjoy!
Pro Tip: If you don’t want the added dark chocolate mint flavor of the watermelon, consider omitting it, while still enjoying the juicy watermelon on your plate.
