Miso roasted tofu with sweet potato
Community member
"I like to make this recipe for dinner, because it’s so easy to prepare—just dice sweet potato and tofu and throw them in the oven. To give them a slightly crispy crust, they are marinated with an aromatic sauce. When it comes to the flavors, I was inspired by Japanese cuisine: Miso paste is the basis for the sauce and the topping is a variation of the Japanese spice mixture furikake, which is mainly sprinkled on rice or onigiri. It traditionally consists of bonito flakes, nori, and sesame, among other things, but here I created a vegan version of it."
