  • Sweet potato, cut into 2 cm cubes 800 g ≈ 6 cups

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the sweet potato with 1 tsp of the oil and the salt, spread on the sheet and roast for 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk the maple syrup, mustard, soy sauce, garlic, pepper and 1 tsp of the oil, then toss the tempeh in half of this glaze.
  4. Add the tempeh to the baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes.
  5. Toss the kale with the remaining oil and add it to the sheet, then brush the tempeh with the rest of the glaze.
  6. Roast 8–10 minutes more, until the kale is crisp at the edges and the sweet potato is tender.
