To Prepare Garam Masala Sweet Potatoes
Toss sweet potatoes with 1 ½ teaspoon oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet tray, making sure not to overcrowd. Roast in a preheated 350 degrees Fahrenheit oven for 25 minutes or until tender. Remove from the oven and place in a bowl. Add lime juice and garam masala spice. Toss to coat evenly.
Heat 2 ½ Tablespoons oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Add seasoned sweet potatoes and sauté while tossing for 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic, jalapeño, red pepper, red onion, and mushrooms. Continue to cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro.
To Prepare Vegan Power Bowl
Combine cauliflower florets, oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Place in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan, making sure not to overcrowd. Roast in a preheated 450 degrees Fahrenheit oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until caramelized. Remove from the heat. Note: Rotate the pan halfway through the cooking process to promote even roasting.
