Transfer them to a 2-quart baking dish.
Return the sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until soft and tender when tested with a fork.
Cut the sweet potatoes in half and scoop the flesh into a small bowl; mash until smooth.
Discard the sweet-potato skins.
Season with the salt and black pepper.
Place the cornstarch in a small saucepan.
Add about 1/4 cup of the broth and stir until smooth.
Stir in the soy sauce, herb seasoning, and the remaining 1 3/4 cups broth.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking often.
Cook for 1 minute, or until slightly thickened.
Stir in the parsley.
Pour over the vegetables in the baking dish.
Spread the mashed sweet potatoes over the vegetables.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F.
Bake for 25 minutes.
