  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 tsp Coriander
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Thyme
  • 1 tsp Sage
  • 2-2.5 cups Veggies (carrots, peas, mushrooms, broccoli)
  • 2 cans Chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
  • 1.5 cups Water
  • 1.2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 tsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Corn Starch + 1 tbsp Water
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Bread Crumb Topping (optional)

  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Rosemary
  • 1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 2 tsp Olive Oil

Instructions
 

Sweet Potato Mash

  • Peel and chop sweet potatoes. Add them to a pot with water and bring to a boil for 8-10 minutes, until sweet potatoes are tender. Once tender, drain and mash potatoes with salt and thyme. Set aside.

Chickpea Vegetable Filling

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, add onion, garlic, coriander, and cumin to a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes, adding water as needed to prevent sticking in the pan.
  • Next, add thyme, sage and veggies to skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes. Add chickpeas, salt, water, black pepper, cayenne, and soy sauce. Mix well, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
  • While the veggies are cooking, in a small bowl, combine water and cornstarch. After the 10 minutes, add water and cornstarch to the skillet and simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, 5-7 minutes. Taste and adjust spices/herbs as desired.

Assemble

  • Distribute veggies into a 9x9 baking dish. Add sweet potato mixture to the top.
  • Mix together the bread crumb mixture and crumble over the top of the sweet potatoes.
  • Bake at 425 for 15-20 minutes. Broil for an additional minute if needed to brown the sweet potatoes. Cool for a few minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy!
