Method

1
Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss the sweet potato wedges with the oil, smoked paprika and salt on a sheet pan.
2
Cut the tempeh into triangles, toss with the barbecue sauce and soy sauce, and add to a second pan.
3
Roast both pans, flipping once, until the sweet potatoes are browned and the tempeh turns sticky and caramelized.
4
Toss the slaw with the mayo, vinegar, Dijon and a pinch of salt.
5
Divide the sweet potatoes, black beans and tempeh between 4 boxes, with the slaw in its own corner or container.

Storage

Keeps 4 days in the fridge. Pack the slaw separately if you like it crunchy. The tempeh, beans and sweet potatoes freeze well for 2 months.

Good to know

Save a spoonful of barbecue sauce to brush on right before eating. Fresh sauce on reheated tempeh makes it taste just-made.
