- Place the beets on the foil. Place a second sheet of foil over the beets and crimp the top and bottom sheets together to make a sealed packet.
- Place on a baking sheet and roast for 50 minutes. Allow the beets to cool, but keep the oven set to 400ºF.
- Arrange the sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with cumin and chili powder. Toss to coat.
- Roast for 15 minutes. Turn with a spatula and roast for 10-15 minutes more, until tender. Cool.
- When the beets are cool enough to handle, gently rub them to peel off the skins. Dice into ¼-½ pieces.
- Add the spinach to a large bowl along with beets, sweet potatoes, bell pepper, chickpeas, scallions, and dates.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil with the mint, lemon juice, garlic and salt. Pour over the salad and toss to coat. Gently fold in the avocado.
- Divide among serving bowls and top each with an equal amount of chopped egg.
