INGREDIENTS

DRESSING:

TEMPEH BACON:

CANDIED SEEDS/NUTS:

vegan butter melted in a pan, about 2 Tbsp.

enough brown sugar to make a carmelized paste

about 1/2 cup of sunflower seeds (or nuts of choice)

a dash of allspice

Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the cabbage wedges on the sheet, then lightly brush with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven until starting to brown, about 25 minutes.

Cut the yam and apple into small dices. You can leave the peels on. Put them in a bowl with a small amount of olive oil to coat. Spread evenly on a baking sheet, and add it to the oven with the cabbage when you have 15 minutes left of cook time. (Both should get done at the same time.)

To make tempeh bacon, dd the tempeh to a shallow dish with a lid, and whisk all marinade ingredients together. Pour over the tempeh, and marinate in the fridge while veggies finished roasting (or overnight if you want to make this ahead of time.) When ready, pan fry until crispy.

For the candied seeds, melt the vegan butter in a pan on low heat. Add brown sugar and mix until it’s thick and caramelized. Add seeds and stir to coat – add more seeds if mixture is still really wet. Add a dash of allspice, and spread mixture out on a sheet of wax or parchment paper to cool.

To make the dressing, whisk the mustard, balsamic vinegar and maple syrup together in a small bowl.

When all components are ready, plate by putting the cabbage on the bottom then topped with the tempeh bacon, then the apple and yam mix. Finish by drizzling some dressing over the dish and top with the candied seeds.

There you go! This makes an awful lot of food, and would be a great addition to a Holiday meal or potluck. Enjoy!
