Roasted Sweet Potato & Prosciutto Salad

I still think there's no better combo than sweet potatoes with pork, or prosciutto in this case. I'm a retired physician and am glad that sweet potatoes are being given their due as nutritional powerhouses. —Helen Conwell, Portland, Oregon

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, julienned
  • 1/2 cup sliced radishes

  • 2 green onions, sliced, divided
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
