Preheat the oven to 400 F, or if convection, 375 F. Line a low sided baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone pad. Combine all of the vegetables and tofu on the baking sheet and toss with the spices and the soy sauce.  Bake for 25 minutes, then toss and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes if needed until the Brussels sprouts are soft, the tofu slightly browned, and the sweet potato is cooked through. 

Make your favorite chopped salad and add toppings of your choice such as chopped Fuju persimmon, chopped Honey Crisp Apple, sliced radishes, and julienned fresh carrot. Spoon the roasted vegetables over the base and add your dressing of choice. If desired, scatter seeds or nuts and cranberries or raisins.
