Instructions
Make the sweet potatoes
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cube the sweet potatoes and toss with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and loosely tent with foil. Place in the oven and cook for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and cook an additional 15-20 minutes until crispy.
Make the tofu
- Toss the tofu with olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Place on a separate baking sheet in a single layer and cook for 20 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the potatoes and tofu are cooking, slice the kale and cook the couscous.
Make the lemon tahini dressing
- Place the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt and cumin in a bowl and gently whisk together. Add the water a tablespoon at a time and whisk until creamy; it will likely seize up on you, that's OK- just keep whisking. Keep adding the water until creamy and smooth.
Assemble
- Assemble! Divide the couscous, sweet potatoes, kale and tofu into 4 bowls; drizzle with lemon tahini dressing and top with avocado, nuts/seeds of choice.
