Enjoy a vibrant and hearty salad that marries the natural sweetness of roasted sweet potato and plantain with crispy, pan-seared tofu and crunchy whole grain croutons.

INGREDIENTS
100g Sweet Potato
80g Plantain
300g Extra-Firm Tofu
50g Arugula
15g Whole Grain Bread (for croutons)
25g Chickpeas
0.5 tsp Olive Oil
5g Hemp Seeds
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and cube the sweet potato and plantain. Toss them lightly with a small amount of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread the sweet potato and plantain evenly on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, drain and cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes. In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add a pinch of salt and lightly sear the tofu until the edges are crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
Toast the whole grain bread in a toaster or oven until firm, then break into small crouton-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the fresh arugula, roasted sweet potato and plantain, seared tofu, and chickpeas. Sprinkle hemp seeds over the top.
Drizzle with a little extra olive oil or your favorite light vinaigrette if desired, toss gently and serve immediately.
