Ingredients

1 cup water
1/2 cup bulgur
1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1/2 pound fennel bulb, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 small red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch strips
1 (8 ounce) package tempeh, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
2 teaspoons coconut oil
1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2 Bring water and bulgur to a boil in a saucepan; cover saucepan and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until water is absorbed and bulgur is soft, about 12 minutes. Keep warm.
3 Place sweet potato in a bowl. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with salt and black pepper; toss to coat. Transfer sweet potato to the prepared baking sheet in one row on one-fourth of baking sheet. Place fennel in the same bowl. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with salt and black pepper; toss to coat. Transfer to the same baking sheet in one row next to sweet potato, keeping each separate.
4 Cook in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Place red onion in the same bowl. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with salt and black pepper; toss to coat. Transfer to the same baking sheet in one row next to fennel, keeping each separate. Place red bell pepper in the same bowl. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with salt and black pepper; toss to coat. Place on the same baking sheet in one row next to onion, keeping each separate.
5 Cook in the preheated oven until vegetables are cooked to desired doneness, 10 to 15 minutes.
6 Place tempeh in a bowl. Season with 1/2 teaspoon curry powder; toss to coat.
7 Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; sauté tempeh, turning occasionally, until all sides are evenly browned, about 10 minutes.
8 Whisk orange juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, red wine vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon curry powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
9 Divide bulgur between two bowls; divide sweet potato, fennel, red onion, and bell pepper between bowls and place around bulgur. Top with 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds; drizzle vinaigrette over each bowl.
