Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the sweet potato (unpeeled) into 2 cm chunks. Cut the beetroot (unpeeled) into 1 cm chunks. TIP: Chopping the veggies to the correct size ensures they cook in the allocated time. Slice the red onion into 2 cm wedges. Finely chop the dill. TIP: Dill has a distinctive flavour that is like a combination of fennel, aniseed and celery. If these flavours aren't for you, feel free to leave the dill out or use a little less.
Place the sweet potato, beetroot and red onion on the oven tray lined with baking paper, drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place in the oven to cook for 30-35 minutes, or until golden and tender. TIP: Beetroot retains a lot of its firmness when cooked. You can tell it's cooked when it is tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Heat a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the pecans and toast, stirring, for 3-4 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside. Return the frying pan to a medium heat and add the brown sugar, water (check ingredients list for the amount) and a pinch of salt and stir until the sugar has melted and the caramel is combined. Return the pecans to the pan and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, or until the caramel has thickened and become sticky. Remove from the pan and spread out on a sheet of baking paper to cool.
While the vegetables are cooking, pour 1 1/2 tbs for 2 people / 3 tbs for 4 people of the oil from the marinated goat cheese tub into a small jug or bowl. Add the vinegar and Dijon mustard and stir to combine. Season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper and set aside. Once slightly cooled, roughly chop the candied pecans.
In a large bowl, toss the roasted veggies, pecans, mixed salad leaves and dill. Crumble in the marinated goat cheese and drizzle with the mustard dressing. Toss to coat. TIP: Dress the medley just before serving to prevent soggy leaves.
Divide the roast root vegetable medley between bowls. Top with the candied pecans.
