3 pounds red-skinned sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger

In a large pot fitted with a steamer basket, steam the sweet potatoes in batches until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes per batch. Transfer them to a large bowl and let cool to room temperature.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, make the Orange-Maple Dressing by whisking the olive oil, maple syrup, orange juice, vinegar, ginger, nutmeg and salt.
