Sweet Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts

Serve over your favorite cooked grain for a delicious and satisfying dinner with minimal effort.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tablespoons miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil 
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 (8oz.) package tempeh, cut into ½ inch cubes
  • 1 large sweet potato, cut into ½ inch cubes
  • 1-pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  3. In a small bowl, use a fork to mix the miso paste, vinegar, honey, red pepper flakes, sesame oil and avocado oil until well mixed. 
  4. Scatter the tempeh, sweet potato and brussels sprouts over the prepared baking sheet. 
  5. Pour the sauce over and use your hands to mix until evenly coated. Add a drizzle more avocado oil if needed.

TIP

Swap the veggies with your seasonal favorites. More tender vegetables, like asparagus, can be added halfway through cooking time.
