  3. Drizzle the sweet potatoes with half the olive oil, add the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Season the quinoa with the remaining oil, a little salt, and garlic powder.
  5. Bake for about 30 minutes, stirring the quinoa halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare the dressing by mixing the olive oil, lemon juice, yacon syrup, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  7. In a large salad bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, crispy quinoa, white beans, cranberries, and chopped mint.
