Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss 2 medium diced sweet potatoes with 1 tsp toasted sesame oil and roast for 25 minutes until tender and caramelized at the edges.
Step 2: While potatoes roast, whisk together 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp rice vinegar, and 2 tbsp water in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 3: Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 block pressed tofu cubes and 1 tsp soy sauce, and cook for 5 minutes until golden and crispy on all sides.
Step 4: Add 4 cups chopped kale to the skillet and toss for 2-3 minutes until wilted and dark green, stirring frequently.
Step 5: Remove skillet from heat, pour miso glaze over roasted sweet potatoes, and toss to coat evenly. Transfer to a bowl, top with crispy tofu and sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds.
