Method

Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Toss together 1 tbsp of the oil, the sweet potatoes, garlic and chickpeas. Roast for 40-45 mins, tossing halfway through, until the sweet potato is soft.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onions and fry, stirring regularly, for 30 mins until very soft. Add the sugar, turn up the heat and cook for 5 mins until the onions are caramelised. When the sweet potato mixture is cooked, add the onions, parsley and lemon, and stir through.
Reduce the oven temperature to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Brush a 20cm spring-form cake tin with oil, then layer 8 sheets of filo pastry over the base, allowing it to drape over the edges and brushing oil between each layer. Fill with the sweet potato mixture, then fold over the excess pastry. Scrunch the remaining sheets of filo on the top and brush with a little oil. Bake for 30-35 mins until golden and crisp.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the remaining sage leaves and fry for 1 min until crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.
Transfer the cooked pie to a serving plate and top with the crispy sage. Serve with steamed green vegetables.

Tip: Freeze the assembled uncooked pie. Defrost fully in the fridge overnight before baking.
