  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

8 oz tempeh, cut into triangles
2 large sweet potatoes, cubed
1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
1 red onion, sliced into wedges
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup creamy tahini
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2-3 tablespoons warm water (to thin)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes, broccoli florets, sliced red onion, and tempeh triangles with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Step 3: Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring space between pieces for roasting.
Step 4: Bake for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and the tempeh is golden brown.
Step 5: While the vegetables roast, prepare the sauce by whisking together the tahini, maple syrup, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Step 6: Gradually add warm water to the sauce until it reaches a smooth, drizzling consistency.
Step 7: Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle the cinnamon tahini sauce generously over the roasted tempeh and vegetables before serving.

Notes

Steam the tempeh for 10 minutes before roasting if you prefer a milder flavor.
