  2. Roast the veggies: Preheat oven to 350ºF and line baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread out broccoli and bell peppers and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle on salt and pepper and garlic powder, move around pan to coat and bake for about 15-20 minutes, until veggies are just cooked.
  3. Make the dressing: add all dressing ingredients to small blender or food processor. Process until smooth, adding liquid until desired consistency is reached. 
  4. Cook the tempeh: In a large skillet over medium heat, add oil and marinated tempeh to pan. Cook tempeh for about 3 minutes per side. Then add about 3 tablespoons of peanut sauce, tossing to coat. Cook another 2-3 minutes. OPTION: marinate tempeh in peanut sauce overnight, then cook in skillet about 3-4 minutes per side.
