▢ 1½ tbsp oil - I used avocado oil
▢ ½ tbsp coconut aminos - or soy sauce

▢ ¼ tsp garlic powder

Tahini Dressing

▢ ½ tbsp tahini
▢ ½ tbsp lemon juice
▢ ½ tbsp water
▢ 1 tsp maple syrup - or honey
▢ salt - to taste
▢ black pepper - to taste

Instructions

Cook the brown rice according to the package instructions. Set aside once done.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
Add the cubed tofu and diced sweet potatoes to the bowl and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Spread the tofu and sweet potato mixture on a lined baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer and not overcrowded.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the tofu is golden and crispy.
In each bowl, add a generous scoop of cooked brown rice.
Top with the roasted sweet potatoes and tofu mixture, and add avocado slices.
In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, salt, and pepper. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed.
Drizzle the tahini dressing over the bowls and garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve your tofu and sweet potato rice bowl immediately and enjoy!
