Serves 1

For the Balsamic Baked Tempeh:

4 ounces tempeh
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

For the Sweet Potato Rounds:
1/2 medium sweet potato
olive oil
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp ginger

For the Zucchini Strips:
1 small zucchini
fresh cracked pepper

1/4 Avocado

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400F.

Cut your tempeh into 4 equal strips and soak in the balsamic vinegar until coated. Place on a baking tray lined with greased aluminum foil.

Wash your sweet potato and cut into 1/4 inch rounds. Place the rounds on the baking tray with the tempeh and brush on a little olive oil, then sprinkle on the cumin and ginger.

Slice the zucchini into strips and place on the baking tray. Brush lightly with more oil and crack a little fresh pepper over them.

Bake in your oven for about 20-25 minutes until the sweet potatoes are soft. Flip the potato rounds and tempeh strips about halfway through cooking so they cook evenly.

Slice your avocado, throw it all on a plate and squeeze a little lemon juice over everything!

Enjoy! 🙂
