## Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425F (218C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
2. Trim off 1/4 inch off the top of a bulb of garlic to expose the cloves, place on foil, drizzle with 1 tsp oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, then wrap the foil to seal.
3. Place the sweet potato and shallot halves on a baking tray cut side up, drizzle with about 1 tbsp of oil and sprinkle generously with salt.
4. Arrange the thyme over the sweet potatoes, then flip them so they are resting cut side down on the tray.
5. Bake the sweet potatoes, garlic, and shallots in the oven until they are nice and caramelized and the potatoes are soft (30-35 mins).
6. Crumble the pressed extra-firm tofu into a large mixing bowl.
7. Add paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dry thyme, allspice, fennel seeds, white pepper, nutritional yeast, light brown sugar, gluten-free tamari, and avocado oil to the tofu.
8. Toss the tofu together with the seasonings until evenly coated.
9. Spread the tofu mixture out in an even layer on the second baking tray.
10. Roast the tofu in the oven for 20 minutes, then toss and roast again for 5-10 minutes, or until evenly browned.
11. Scoop out the flesh of the soft sweet potato and place it in a food processor.
12. Add the roasted shallots and squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the food processor.
13. Add apple butter, five spice, and a pinch of salt to the food processor.
14. Whip the sweet potato mixture until it is creamy and smooth, then taste and adjust salt.
15. Drizzle the roasted tofu crumble with lime juice and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
