Next, preheat oven to 400°F and arrange a rack in the middle of oven. Lightly spray a mini-muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside. Stir together all of the ingredients and fill each muffin cup all the way full with the mashed sweet potatoes mixture.
Sprinkle the tops with the parmesan cheese then bake about 20 minutes.
