Instructions
- Place sweet potatoes in a large pot, fill with water until all potatoes are completely submerged.
- Then bring to a boil and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender
- Drain potatoes, mash with the vegan butter and almond milk; set aside
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil, onion, celery, carrots and cook, stirring frequently until the onion is translucent and veggies have started to soften, about 5 minutes
- Add the mushrooms and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, an additional 5-6 minutes
- Add the garlic and cook for one minute, then sprinkle the flour, italian seasoning, smoked paprika, thyme, salt and pepper and stir to coat
- Slowly add the veggie broth, stirring well, followed by the soy sauce and bring to a simmer
- Add the lentil and peas and continue to simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 baking dish
- Carefully spread the sweet potatoes over the filling, then bake in preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the potatoes have crisped a bit
- Garnish with fresh thyme if desired
