Sweet Potato & Apple Tofu Hash
Yields: 2-3 servings
Ingredients:
Mixed greens of choice
8oz. extra-firm tofu, drained and lightly crumbled
1 large or 2 small sweet potatoes, peeled & cut in cubes
1 apple (any variety), cut in cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
1 tablespoon apple cider vin
2 tablespoon coconut amigos or tamari
1/4 cup onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 1/2 tsp paprika
2 teaspoons brown sugar or 1 tablespoon maple syrup
salt & pepper to taste
1-2 tbsp roasted garlic dijon dressing (optional)
toast or english muffin (optional)
Directions:
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425F and line your baking sheet with parchment paper or tin foil. In a medium bowl, combine the potato and apple with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Transfer the mixture to the baking sheet, sprinkle with salt & pepper. Bake potatoes and apples for 35-40 minutes, or until tender and crisping at the edges.
Step 2
When the potatoes and apples are just about finished, heat the remaining tablespoon oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat and sauté onion and garlic until translucent. Add the tofu, smoked paprika, brown sugar, and coconut aminos or tamari, and sesame oil. Stir frequently, for 6-8 minutes.
Step 3
When the tofu scramble is ready, fold in roasted potatoes and apples. Add vinegar, then stir well. Taste; add salt, pepper and/or additional vinegar as needed.
Serve
On a bed of greens dressed in roasted garlic dijon dressing with toast & your favorite garnishes.
