(5 from 4 votes)Delish!! I just made this and it turned out great! Just make sure to test your sweet potato chunks to make sure they are cooked through, otherwise microwave a few more minutes until done. Thanks for the great, easy vegan recipe!
Excellent deliciously easy-to-make
Can you just cook this on the hob!
