  • Step #13 NOTE: Make sure to make several holes in the sweet potato before putting in microwave; also helps to turn sweet potato over once or twice to ensure even cooking.
  • Step #14 Based on size, then turn them over for 20 mins & test; if not done, cook sweet potato in 350 F / 180 C degree oven for about an hr NOTE: I served it with Golden Door Chilli -- 300g chillis, I do mine 20 mins on high, 2 tbsp apple cider, I do another 10 mins each side or 5 mins each size depending on size; You will know it is done when the whole sweet potato is soft; Can use tongs to squeeze -- I use my hands to test:) Hope this helpful hint helps! If no microwave, 2 tbsp tamari mixd in food processor/blender.
  • Step #15 NOTE: If can't find fat-free parmesan, use lowest fat parmesan can find.
  • Step #16 NOTE: Is ok if chickpeas are a little lumpy, but try & get them mashed as much as you can with a fork.
