Fall is just around the corner, and there’s no better way to embrace the change than with a heartwarming recipe that gives you the best of both worlds. Say hello to the Roasted Tofu and Potato Power Bowl with Tangy Tahini Dressing—a dish that packs the summery freshness of a salad with the coziness of oven-roasted vegetables.

Did you know the first day of fall is sept 23? Are you ready for it? I cannot believe how quickly it arrived but I am so excited to make this power bowl and pair it with my favorite tomato soup!

Gather these ingredients out to make your own Roasted Tofu and Potato Power Bowl

  • baby yellow potatoes
  • extra firm tofu
  • mini sweet peppers
  • nutritional yeast
  • paprika
  • garlic powder
  • mixed baby greens
  • pitted Greek olives, halved
  • capers
  • toasted pine nuts
  • fresh dill

 

Tangy Tahini Dressing

  • roasted tahini
  • lemon
  • red wine vinegar
  • maple syrup
  • dijon mustard

 

When I created this dish, I wanted it to have a variety of textures and flavors that would make each bite interesting. The potatoes are oven-roasted to perfection—they get a little crispy on the outside but stay soft and fluffy inside. The tofu adds a hearty touch and soaks up the flavors of the seasonings, making it incredibly satisfying.

But what really elevates this power bowl is the tangy tahini dressing. It’s creamy and rich with a hint of tartness from the lemon and red wine vinegar. And guess what? Making the dressing is a breeze. All you have to do is whisk the ingredients together in a jar. Simple, right?

A Nod to the Seasons

This dish is a beautiful nod to the seasonal shift we experience as summer transitions to fall. On the one hand, you have the mixed baby greens that remind you of those sunny summer days. On the other, you have the roasted veggies that give you a glimpse of the cozy evenings ahead. Olives, capers, and toasted pine nuts add a Mediterranean flair, and the fresh dill gives it an aromatic finish. And this power bowl is not just tasty; it’s packed with nutrients, too. Tofu is an excellent source of plant-based protein, and the baby yellow potatoes are rich in vitamin C and fiber. Tahini, which is made from sesame seeds, is a good source of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. 
 
The best part? You can whip up this dish in just 40 minutes, making it perfect for those busy weeknights. Trust me, this is the kind of dinner that gets everyone excited to gather around the table; even if it is just for a few minutes! So, as the days get shorter and the nights get chillier, why not bring the best of both seasons to your dinner table? This Roasted Tofu and Potato Power Bowl offers a delicious balance of fresh and comforting elements, and it’s the perfect way to transition into the cozy season ahead.

    This is the best tahini-based dressing I’ve had, absolutely delicious.
    Switched up the pine nuts for pecans, and left off the olives– this whole salad was divine. Thanks so much!

    Jackie,

    Thank you so much for this recipe. I haven’t tried the salad yet but the dressing is mind blowing. I am just taking a spoonful amd eating it out of the mason jar. It’s that good. Thank you for sharing this with us.

    I made this for dinner for me and my boyfriend – who is not ever ok with having just salad for dinner. He also thinks there must be copious amounts of meat at each meal. He loved the salad, was stealing bites of extra tofu off the pan, and didn’t get himself a second dinner later.
    Delicious and filling!
