How to Make This Recipe

Start by cooking rice. Depending on the appliance you use, the water to rice ratio and cooking time may different. Check the rice package and the appliance manual for directions.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On the baking sheet, spread your tofu, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potato cubes. Sprinkle with spices and drizzle with soy sauce. Toss everything together and bake for 25 minutes. Give it another mix, and bake for an additional 20 minutes until the sprouts are soft, the tofu is slightly crispy on the outside and the sweet potato is fully cooked.

Next, make your dressing. In a jar, whisk maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, tahini, and dijon mustard. Add a little bit of warm water to thin and achieve your desired consistency. 

Finally, assemble your vegan harvest bowls. Add wild rice, kale, sweet potato, tofu, and Brussels sprouts. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and cranberries. Drizzle the dressing on top and enjoy!
