Sheet Pan Tempeh and Vegetables with Cinnamon Tahini Sauce is an easy fall dinner packed with protein and nutrients. Cooks on one pan and feeds the whole family!
This sheet pan tempeh recipe features tempeh (of course!) with a mix of fall vegetables: sweet potatoes, carrots, apples, and leeks, all tossed in a DELICIOUS cinnamon tahini sauce.
What I love about this dish is that it's everything you need for a healthy, hearty, fall dinner, all on one pan.
You've got protein from the tempeh. Healthy carbohydrates and micronutrients from the veggies. Plus delicious flavor and healthy fats from the tahini sauce.
And with spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, this sheet pan tempeh dish is perfect for fall.
This DELICIOUS sauce doubles as a marinade and a drizzle for the final dish.
Step 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Step 2. Make the sauce. In a medium bowl whisk all of the sauce ingredients together, until smooth.
Step 3. Toss the tempeh with 1/4 cup of sauce and set aside to marinade. (You can do this while you prep the other vegetables.)
Step 4. In a large bowl, toss the vegetables with 1/4 cup of sauce.
Step 5. Place the marinated tempeh and vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the vegetables are beginning to brown. Refrigerate the remaining marinade while baking so it thickens to become a sauce.
Step 7. Serve the tempeh and veggies with the remaining sauce (you can add another few tablespoons of tahini to thicken it more, if desired). Garnish with fresh parsley and pumpkin seeds. Enjoy!
Not a fan of tempeh? Feel free to make this dish with tofu. Or you could even use a vegan chicken substitute.
Feel free to sub in your favorite vegetables. Broccoli or cauliflower would both be delicious additions.
Store any leftovers in an air tight container in the fridge. Feel free to drizzle on any extra tahini sauce, or keep the sauce in a separate container.
Thank you God for this easy dinner recipe. Bless this food and the people we eat it with. Amen.
