Method

1.Preheat oven to moderately hot, 190°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
2.Arrange kumara on prepared tray. Bake about 1 hour, or until tender. Remove from heat; set aside until cool enough to handle.

4.Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan on medium. Cook onion 4-5 minutes, or until tender. Stir in garlic thyme and chilli flakes; cook 1 minute.
5.Stir in silverbeet; cook 1-2 minutes, until wilted. Blend in mashed kumara, mozzarella and water; cook a further 1 minute, or until heated through.
6.Place kumara shells on prepared tray and spoon silverbeet filling into shells. Cover with foil; bake 30 minutes, or until heated through.
7.Remove foil; sprinkle with parmesan. Bake 10 minutes, or until top is golden brown. Serve immediately.
