Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with nonstick spray.
Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into thin rounds.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, add minced garlic, then sauté kale until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, half of the mozzarella, sautéed kale, salt, and pepper until well combined.
