Roasted Sweet Potatoes With Tempeh image

From the Wholefoods.com website: "Sweet and savory, this casserole is perfect for simple entertaining. Roasting the yams brings out their inherent sweetness, while the marinated tempeh imparts a savory note of tamari, mirin, garlic, and onion. Dressed up with a bit of ginger and cinnamon, this dish will be a holiday sensation." I really liked this, I used 3 grain tempeh instead of soy and I used about 4 yams instead of 2 and I baked it for close to an hour.

Time 1h5m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup reduced-sodium tamari soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
8 ounces soy tempeh, cut into bite-size chunks
2 medium yams, peeled (optional)
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon canola oil
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Put tamari, mirin, granulated garlic, onion powder and sesame oil into a wide, shallow dish and stir to combine. Add tempeh, toss to coat all over, cover and set aside to let marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss yams with olive oil, ginger, cinnamon and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the marinade from the tempeh. Set the yams aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add tempeh and cook, turning frequently, until browned on all sides, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Toss tempeh with yams, then transfer to a 2-quart casserole dish.
  • Cover and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until yams are tender. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley.
