1/2 cup diced carrot
3 garlic cloves
41/2 cups cooked lentils
2 15 oz cans diced tomatoes

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, plus more to garnish
2 tablespoons non-dairy milk, plus moe as needed

Add the non-dairy milk and mash with a potato masher or a fork until smooth and thick, adding more non-dairy milk if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Spread the lentil mixture in a greased 9x13in baking dish. Spread the sweet potatoes in an even layer over the top. Bake for 20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving and garnish with thyme.
