- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 sweet potato chopped into 1/2" pieces
- 8 ounces tempeh crumbled
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 2-3 radishes thinly sliced
- 1/2 avocado sliced
- 6 tablespoons vegan ranch dressing
- 5 cups spring mix lettuce
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Toss chopped sweet potato in oil and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for ~45 minutes or until softened and lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in crumbled tempeh and cook until lightly browned - about 5-7 minutes.
Sprinkle tempeh with seasonings and stir. Cook another minute and then remove from heat.
Build salads by dividing spring mix into two bowls. Top with tempeh, radishes, avocado, and ranch dressing.
