How to make sweet ginger tempeh and sweet potatoes

  • Vegetables:
    • Place the sliced onion and cut sweet potato in a large bowl.
    • Add the sesame oil and toss to coat vegetables.
    • Add the sea salt and toss again.
    • Transfer vegetables to a baking sheet. No need to oil the pan if it is non-stick since the potatoes are oiled, but you probably want to put a little oil on the pan if it is a regular pan.
    • Place zucchini in a bowl and toss with oil and salt in the same way.
    • These will not be added to the baking sheet now because they cook much faster than sweet potatoes.
    • Put these zucchini aside to be added to the baking sheet later.
  • Tempeh:
    • Slice defrosted tempeh cross-wise to create 1 x 1 inch squares.
    • Place sliced tempeh in bottom of a loaf pan. If you are doubling this recipe, use a 9×9 inch baking pan, and if you are more than doubling this recipe, use a 9×13 inch baking pan or multiple pans.
    • The overall goal is to have all the tempeh slices covered in sauce when they are in the baking pan.
  • Sauce:
    • Combine all sauce ingredients in a sauce pan and heat.
    • Once this comes to a simmer, pour it over tempeh in baking dish.
  • Baking:
    • Place both the sweet potato/onion baking sheet and the tempeh baking pan with sauce into an oven and bake, roast, at 450 degrees F for about 30 minutes. No need to preheat the oven.
    • At this point, add the prepared zucchini, oiled and salted, to the baking sheet with the sweet potatoes.
    • Mix the sweet potato and zucchini together.
    • Additionally, flip the tempeh in the baking pan so all sides of the tempeh absorb the sauce evenly, and so both the top and the bottom have a chance to get a little brown.
    • Put both the baking sheet and baking pan back into the oven and continue baking/roasted until the sweet potatoes are not hard, and have browned.
    • This could take another 20 minutes, but could be longer to get the sweet potatoes soft.
    • During these last minutes of baking, gently mix the sweet potatoes and zucchini every 10 minutes to ensure they do not burn on any one side.
    • The tempeh sauce should be bubbling and a little more than half of the sauce absorbed into the tempeh after a total of 50 minutes. At that point, the tempeh can be removed.
    • Once the sweet potatoes are soft, remove from oven.
    • Pour both the tempeh with the sauce and sweet potatoes and zucchini into a large bowl.
    • Gently mix the tempeh and vegetables so the sauce covers the vegetables as well.
