Warm Ancient Grain Bowl (Harvest Bowl)

Step 1

In a large, shallow bowl, mix together the olive oil, vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, salt, and pepper.

To prep the sweet potatoes, quarter the potato and slice it into thin wedges (see pictures in the post above).

Once the tofu is marinated, lay the tofu onto the same baking tray (or a second tray depending on the size).
