First, bake the sweet potatoes. Use the microwave (poke holes in the potato if using microwave) 8 minutes. This will save so much time compared to cooking in oven.
Next, add all the sweet potatoes and chickpeas to a bowl and smash with a potato masher.
Now, add the rest of the ingredients (exceptathe marinara) and mix to combine.
Next, form into balls and place on a parchment lined baking dish. Place in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes. Then top with marinara and place back in the oven 5 minutes more.
