The real star of this vegan dinner is the smoky chipotle oil created by frying chipotles in adobo: It gets used to roast sweet potatoes; to fry tempeh crumbles, which become bacon-y in the process; and even used to dress the apple-cilantro salad. Win, win, win. —Ali Slagle, recipe developer and cookbook author
