- Add garlic, thyme, herbs de provence and the bread cubes.
- Stir to coat.
- Add grated cheese and stir.
- Transfer bread to a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss again.

- Bake until lightly browned. (Approximately 15 minutes)
- Set aside to cool.
- Soak sliced onion in vinegar and a pinch of salt for at least 15 minutes. This is called blooming the onion, which mellows it's flavor.
- Toss sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sage, salt and pepper and Brussels sprouts.
- Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 400° until the potatoes and Brussels are tender. (15-20 minutes)

- Into the onions, pour 1/2 cup of olive oil and season with pepper. If not serving the salad right away, this can be kept in a separate container and refrigerated until ready to serve.
- In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, Brussels and croutons.
- Add onion vinaigrette and toss.
- Add parsley, toss again.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
