Ingredients:

• 14 oz tofu
• 1 large yam or sweet potato (cut into ¾ inch cubes)
• Olive oil
• 3/4 cup uncooked black rice

Peanut Sauce Ingredients

• 3 thin slices ginger (cut across the grain, quartered)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tbsp coconut aminos
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 3 tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 1/2 –1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 3/4 tsp salt

Bowl Veggie Options

• 1–2 cups cabbage, shredded
• 1–2 cups carrots, shredded
• 1–2 cups beets, shredded
• 1 cup snap peas, sliced
• 1/2 cup radishes, thinly sliced
• 1 avocado
• 1/4 cup sprouts (sunflower, broccoli, or alfalfa)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
2. Dry and cut tofu into 2 inch squares (or 2-3 inch long strips). Place on parchment-lined sheet pan and sprinkle with salt.
3. Chop yam into 3/4 inch cubes and place on other side of pan (or a separate one). Drizzle with avocado or olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss and place each cube evenly on the pan.
4. Make peanut sauce: place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. Reserve 1/2 for the bowls and use remaining to coat tofu. Pour over tofu and brush tops and sides. Place in oven for 25-30 minutes.
5. Boil rice in 6 cups lightly salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let sit in strainer for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork.
6. Prepare veggies.
7. When tofu is caramelized and sweet potatoes are fork tender, assemble bowls.
8. Drizzle remaining peanut sauce or place in side dish.

Tips:

• Dry tofu 2 hours ahead of time by wrapping in paper towel and placing a heavy object on top.
• Serve immediately or eat later cold. Both options are equally delicious.
• If you don't have all of the ingredients, substitute! Here are a few options:
• black rice - farro or quinoa
• peanut butter - almond butter, sunbutter, or cashew butter
• coconut aminos - GF Braggs Liquid Amino Acids or low sodium soy sauce
• maple syrup - honey
