  • 1 package of tempeh, cubed
  • 2 Tbs olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground thyme
  • 1/2 tsp ground sage
  • 2 Tbs apple cider vinegar

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF
  2. Rinse, dry, and prepare your vegetables. After chopping them, toss them into a large mixing bowl.

If you want to avoid soy products, you can leave out the tempeh and substitute for chicken or red kidney beans.
