Instructions for Tempeh Nourish Bowl with Lemon Miso Dressing

Marinate the tempeh. Place tempeh marinade ingredients in a large mixing bowl and whisk together until combined. Place tempeh in the bowl and toss to coat. Place tempeh in the fridge and allow to marinate for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Place marinated tempeh on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 25 minutes.

Make the dressing. Whisk together the miso, lemon juice, tahini, garlic powder, parsley and mustard until combined. Add water one tablespoon at a time until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. Set aside.

Place sweet potatoes in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes have softened, about 10 minutes.

Cook the kale in a large skillet with a splash of water until soft and divide between two serving bowls along with remaining bowl ingredients. Drizzle the dressing on top.
