Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into waffle shapes using a mandoline or knife.

Toss the sweet potato fries in a bowl with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.

Spread the sweet potato fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake the sweet potato fries for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden.

While the fries are baking, prepare the brussel sprouts by trimming the ends and slicing them thinly.

In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, sliced brussel sprouts, and red onion.

In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard, and lemon juice to make the dressing.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.

Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Add the baked sweet potato fries to the salad and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and walnuts.

Serve immediately, garnished with additional dressing if desired.
