Instructions

- Roast for 15 minutes before flipping the tofu to the other side and tossing around the sweet potatoes.
- Continue roasting for 15 minutes before adding the black beans. Roast for an additional 5 minutes until the tofu is browned and the sweet potatoes are tender.
- While the sheet pan is in the oven, make the chimichurri. Mince the garlic and scallions in a food processor. Add the cilantro, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Puree the mixture and while the motor is running, drizzle the olive oil through the feeder tube until fully combined.
- Toss the tofu, sweet potatoes and black beans in a few spoonfuls of chimichuuri. Serve with barley and the remaining chimichurri on the side.
