Ingredients

The Base: Roasted Sweet Potatoes

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, washed and halved lengthwise
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

The Protein: Mexican Tofu

The Sauce: Creamy Smoky Yogurt

  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 tsp smoky paprika
  • 1/4 tsp roasted cumin
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 2–3 tbsp water (for thinning)
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped

The Toppings

  • Edamame or plain guacamole
  • Coriander, freshly chopped
  • Sauerkraut (for a probiotic zing)
  • Pumpkin seeds (for crunch)

Method

1)Prep & Roast Potatoes

425°F (220°C)

Preheat your oven. Brush the cut side of the sweet potatoes with olive oil and place them face-down on a sheet pan to maximize caramelization. Sprinkle the skins with salt and bake for 20 minutes.

2)Check for Caramelization

10–15 more minutes

You're looking for a deep, golden-brown "crust" on the flesh side. Continue baking until tender and fully caramelized.

3)Prepare Mexican Tofu & Sauce

Cook your tofu according to your Mexican-style recipe.

Meanwhile, whisk the yogurt, spices, lemon juice, garlic, and salt in a small bowl, adding water 1 tablespoon at a time until it reaches a "drizzlable" consistency.

4)Stack for texture

Start with the warm sweet potato halves. Layer with a spoonful of the creamy yogurt sauce, followed by a generous portion of the Mexican tofu. Finish with edamame, sauerkraut, pumpkin seeds, and a final drizzle of sauce.
