Ingredients
Scale
Roasted Tempeh & Veggies
- 1 package Lightlife Original Tempeh
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- ½ medium Red onion
- 2–3 tbsp Olive oil ((no need to measure this, just drizzle it))
- 3 tbsp Lemon juice ((no need to measure this, just drizzle it))
- 1 tsp each Cumin, Coriander, Garlic powder, Onion powder and Pink Himalayan Salt ((use less salt if you're using table salt))
- ½ tsp Cayenne pepper, Garam Masala and Paprika
Yogurt Sauce
- 2 tbsp Vegan yogurt
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- ½ tsp Pink Himalayan Salt ((use less if you're using a table salt))
- ¼ tsp Garlic powder
Other
- ¼ cup White rice
- Handful of Cilantro ((can sub with parsley))
Instructions
- Begin by preheating the oven to 450°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the tempeh into bite-sized pieces and add to the pan.
- Next, cut the red onion and bell pepper into thick strips and add to the sheet pan. Make sure that the bell pepper and red onion slices are fairly thick, otherwise they will burn before the tempeh is done baking.
- Drizzle the tempeh and veggies with the oil and lemon juice (you don’t need to necessarily measure the oil or lemon juice, just make sure everything is thoroughly coated). Then sprinkle over all of the spices and toss everything together to coat thoroughly.
- Bake the tempeh and veggies in the oven for 25 minutes until caramelized and golden-brown. While the tempeh and veggies roast, prep the rest of the bowl.
- Start by cooking the white rice according to the package instructions.
- While the rice is cooking, prepare the yogurt dressing. Simply whisk all of the ingredients together. Adjust for salt and lemon. Feel free to add a little extra water if you want the sauce thinner.
- Once the tempeh and veggies are done, add them into the serving bowl, along with the white rice. Drizzle over the prepared yogurt dressing and toss everything together. Adjust the salt if necessary and enjoy!
