Ingredients

For the Potatoes and Squash

  • 2-3 small sweet potatoes - thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil - divided
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper - optional
  • salt and fresh ground pepper - to taste
  • 2-3 zucchini or yellow squash - sliced

For the tempeh

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes - halved
  • 1 bell pepper - seeded and diced
  • ½ red onion - diced
  • 1 jalapeño - sliced
  • ½ cup sweet yellow corn
  • 1 small bunch fresh cilantro - chopped
  • ½ cup green onion - chopped
  • 2 avocado - smashed
  • 2 large limes
  • Salsa - use your fav
  • Cotija cheese - crumbled

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line 1-2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
