Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two sheet pans with parchment.
  2. Toss the sweet potato with half of the canola oil, half of the salt and the black pepper; spread on the first pan and roast 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, toss the tofu with the remaining half of the canola oil, then dust with the cornstarch and toss until coated; spread on the second pan.
  4. Roast the tofu alongside the sweet potato for 20 minutes, flipping the tofu and stirring the sweet potato halfway.
  5. While they roast, whisk the soy sauce, maple syrup, ginger, garlic and toasted sesame oil in a small bowl to make the glaze.
  6. Make the salsa: stir the tomato, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice and the remaining half of the salt in a bowl; let it stand.
  7. Add the edamame to the sweet potato pan. Drizzle the glaze over the tofu and toss to coat; return both pans to the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until the tofu is sticky and browned and the sweet potato is tender and caramelized.
  8. Divide the sweet potato and edamame among four bowls, top with the glazed tofu and the salsa, and finish with the green onion and sesame seeds.
