What You Need To Do:
- Firstly, prepare the tomato sauce. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the diced onion and garlic and fry until fragrant, 3-4 minutes. Next, add in the spices and herbs and cook for another minute, stirring.
- Add in the chopped tomatoes and tomato puree, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to boil and then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sauce is reduced and thickens.
- Preheat the oven to 355°F (180°C). Spread half of the tomato at the bottom of a baking dish.
- Slice the sweet potatoes into 0.1″ (3mm) thin slices and try to make each slice the same thickness.
- Place a layer of sweet potato on the tomato sauce overlapping slightly—season with salt, herbs, and smoked paprika.
- Next, spread 1 can of black beans on top of the potato. Follow with another layer of sweet potato, and season with salt, herbs, and smoked paprika.
- Spread the second can of black beans followed with a third layer of sweet potato. Again season with salt, herbs, and smoked paprika.
- Finally, top with the remaining tomato sauce. Cover with a piece of tin foil and bake for about 40-50 minutes, until the sweet potato is cooked through.
- Sprinkle with grated vegan cheese and bake without cover for another 10-15 minutes, until the cheese has melted.
