Instructions
- 1
Cut 400 grams of tempeh into 2-centimeter cubes and place them in a medium bowl; in a separate small bowl, whisk together 60 ml of fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to create the marinade, then pour this over the tempeh and toss to coat evenly, allowing it to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; peel and chop 500 grams of sweet potatoes and 1 medium red bell pepper into 2-centimeter pieces, and finely slice 1 medium red onion.

On the prepared baking sheet, toss the chopped 500 grams of sweet potatoes, 1 medium red bell pepper, and 1 medium red onion with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until evenly coated; spread them in a single layer.

Add the marinated tempeh cubes to the baking sheet with the vegetables, ensuring everything is spread out in a single layer for even cooking; roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, carefully flip the tempeh and vegetables on the baking sheet to ensure even browning; return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes, or until the tempeh is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.

While the tempeh and vegetables are roasting, prepare the glaze by combining 100 grams of fresh or frozen passion fruit pulp (seeds optional), 1 tablespoon of agave nectar, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze slightly thickens.

Remove the roasted tempeh and vegetables from the oven and drizzle the warm passion fruit glaze over them, tossing gently to coat; sprinkle with 1/4 cup of fresh chopped cilantro before serving immediately.
