If you like warm, delicious comfort food that is also super nutritious, this Veggie Based Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili is for you!

Jam packed with creamy sweet potatoes, black beans and plenty of onions, peppers, and garlic this chili will both comfort and fuel you all at the same time.

I like to make this chili on the weekend and then repurpose it into different meals during the week.  It’s great stuffed into tacos, spooned on top of a salad, or simply packed into a thermos to bring for lunch.

    Hi Dani,

    Just wondering, instead of fire roasted tomatoes, can I use a can of crushed tomatoes?

    I happened upon you from being on a Whole Foods website. I think you’re recipes are just what we need right now. My husband suffered two heart attacks in 7 months (he’s on the mend and in cardiac rehab, just started this week. Part of the rehab is Dean Ornish style eating, and you nail it. Thanks for making my job ssssoooooo much easier!

    This is one my all time favorite recipes. It’s very adaptable. Most of the time I add some frozen corn. If I don’t have bell peppers or to save chopping time I sub 2 cups of Trader Joe’s Frozen Roasted Bell Pepper and Onion Strips. I still go ahead and use a small fresh chopped onion. I try to avoid refined oil so I simply sauté my veggies in a little of the broth instead of oil. It works great! This tastes wonderful as soon as it’s made but gets better over the next few days. Thanks for this tasty recipe!

    This is a great chili. So easy to swap out for what you have to use up and delicious flavor. The family really enjoyed this. We made another batch to send in thermos’ for lunches. Kids gobbled it up.
