Vegan Sweet Potato Tofu Bake Recipes

VEGAN TOFU AND SWEET POTATO CURRY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and cook onion, garlic, and ginger, stirring often, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add sweet potatoes and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Dust with curry powder and cook for 30 seconds.
• Stir tomatoes and their juices into the pot. Add vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until sweet potatoes are soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Add peas and simmer for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in tofu and carefully mix together. Heat for 3 minutes. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.

SHEET-PAN CRISP TOFU AND SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange tofu pieces, cut sides down, on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Cover with another kitchen towel, and place a flat cutting board on top. If your cutting board is lightweight, stack a few cans or a skillet on top to weigh it down. Let tofu drain for at least 10 minutes (and up to 30 minutes), then transfer to a cutting board. Cut strips into 3/4-inch pieces (1-inch thick), and transfer to a medium bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk together oil, tamari, honey and 1 teaspoon vinegar. Toss half the mixture with the tofu, then toss in cornstarch. Arrange in a single layer on a rimmed sheet pan.
• On a separate rimmed sheet pan, toss together potato wedges, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer; do not crowd the pan. If they don't all fit, arrange extra wedges on the pan with the tofu.
• Bake tofu and potatoes until browned, 35 to 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through. If the tofu sticks (and this is likely), use a thin metal spatula to carefully loosen each one before flipping. A small offset spatula is perfect here.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine scallions, 1 tablespoon vinegar and a large pinch each sugar and salt. Let sit while tofu and potatoes roast.
• To serve, toss tofu with some of the reserved tamari sauce, to taste. Serve with potato wedges, topped with scallions, cilantro and a drizzle of hot sesame chile oil or sprinkling of red-pepper flakes, and more tamari sauce. Sprinkle with peanuts if desired.

VEGAN SWEET POTATO-TOFU BAKE

Steps:

• Scrub sweet potatoes/yams and cook until tender. (I microwave mine on high for about 10 minutes, or until a fork goes in easily.) Let sit until cool enough to handle. Peel and cut into small chunks.
• Place cooked sweet potatoes/yams into a blender or food processor, along with all other ingredients. Process until smooth.
• Pour into a casserole dish and top with pecans/marshmallows, if desired.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes until heated through.

Steps:

• Add the cashews to a medium bowl with enough vegetable broth to cover. Soak for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Drain and rinse.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Using a mandolin or a sharp knife, thinly slice the sweet potatoes into rounds.
• Add the sweet potatoes to a large bowl and toss with the olive oil, garlic, thyme leaves, pepper, and salt.
• Add the drained cashews to a blender or food processor, along with the garlic, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, vegetable broth, nutmeg, cayenne, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
• Grease a large cast-iron skillet or other ovenproof dish with oil.
• Pour ⅓ of the cashew sauce into the skillet and tilt to evenly coat the bottom. Layer half of the sweet potato rounds over the sauce, overlapping slightly to completely cover the bottom of the pan. Repeat with another ⅓ of the sauce, the rest of the potatoes, and the rest of the sauce.
• Bake for 1 hour, or until golden brown on top and the sweet potatoes are tender.
• Let cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
• Enjoy!
