How to Make Roasted Sweet Potatoes With Tempeh

  1. In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together 2 tablespoons tamari, 1 tablespoon mirin, 1 teaspoon granulated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil.
  2. Add 14 ounces (about 1 block) of 3-grain tempeh, cut into 1-inch cubes. Toss to coat, cover, and marinate for at least 30 minutes (longer is better!).
  3. While the tempeh marinates, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Peel and chop 4 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds) into 1-inch cubes. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the tempeh marinade.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  6. Add the marinated tempeh to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until browned on all sides (about 5-8 minutes).
  7. Gently toss the cooked tempeh with the sweet potatoes.
  8. Transfer the sweet potato and tempeh mixture to a 2-quart casserole dish.
  9. Cover and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.
  10. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
