Veggie bake up -- gluten free vegan goodness

So, I thought it would be fun to go all v*gan on your ass. The thing is, this turned out so delectable that  I am already looking forward to leftovers for dinner tomorrow night. Just the right mix of flavours, and completely satisfying. Easy to make, and pleasing to people of all ages, this dish goes great with a side of greens or quinoa or both. My four year old devoured his, and my husband had thirds. You get the picture. Additionally, it is grain free, gluten free, and free of pretention and bad attitude (too bad I can't say the same about me).

4 cups shredded sweet potato
2 medium onions, finely diced
1 garlic clove, finely minced

2. add the shredded sweet potato and carrot and 1 tsp sea salt, and  sauté
3. meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the egg replacer  and water with the water, and add the chickpea flour, ground flax, ground sesame, ground cashews, and seasonings
4. mix with a whisk!
