What is Tempeh?
Tempeh is an protein-rich product made from fermented soybeans with other added grains or beans. Tempeh is originally from Indonesia and it’s different from tofu because it’s made from actual soybeans, not soy milk. It has a stronger flavor than tofu, most often called “earthy” or “nutty.” It’s filled with protein and fiber, making it a really healthy meatless protein to add into your meals!

- For more vegetarian protein options, use veggie sausage, tofu or beans instead of tempeh. Or, if you prefer tofu to tempeh, go that route!

How to Make Veggie Loaded Tempeh Sheetpan Dinner
Like we mentioned above, this dish is really, really easy to make. The most time you’ll spend is waiting for it to cook in the oven! If you want to serve it alongside rice or quinoa you can use that baking time to get those made.
Do a little prep work: line a baking dish with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350. Gather your ingredients and make sure you have everything you need!
Make the sauce by whisking all of the sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl. Toss all of the veggies in the sauce so everything is well coated. You want that bright flavor in every bite!
Pour everything onto the prepared baking sheet and pop it in the oven. It’ll need about 55 minutes. Check to make sure the sweet potatoes are tender, since those are the veggies that need the longest! Once they’re done, you’re ready to eat and enjoy.
Serving a Sheet Pan Dinner
These flavorful veggies would be delicious in a bowl on their own! We also recommend serving them over a tasty side of rice, quinoa, or even lentils. A spoonful of hummus would also be a yummy addition!

What would almond butter be a good substitute for Tahini ( sesame allergy)?
Vicky and Ruth
You can definitely use almond butter or any nut butter that you are not allergic to.
