Prepare the Tofu:
Drain and pat dry the tofu. Cut it into cubes and place in a shallow dish.
In a small bowl, mix together the tamari, rice vinegar, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Pour the marinade over the tofu, tossing gently to coat.
Allow the tofu to soak in the marinade for a minimum of 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Spread the tofu cubes on the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Roast the Sweet Potatoes:
Place the sweet potato rounds on a separate baking sheet, drizzle with a little oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Roast alongside the tofu for 25-30 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.
Prepare the Miso Tahini Sauce:
In a blender or food processor, combine the miso paste, rice vinegar, maple syrup, tahini, tamari, ginger, garlic, turmeric, water, and oil.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Power Bowls:
Divide the cooked brown rice or quinoa into bowls.
Layer on the mixed greens, roasted sweet potatoes, cooked edamame, chopped cucumber, radishes, and marinated tofu.
Top each bowl with goji berries or cranberries, toasted sunflower seeds, and optional sunflower or pea sprouts.
