Vegan Sweet Potato Chili
with black beans | 2-3 Servings
This vegan take on chili is just as hearty and delicious as its meaty cousins. Here, we combine tender sweet potatoes with spiced black beans, aka “the perfect combo for any season.” Oh, and did we mention that this only needs a ~5 minute visit to the microwave before you can dig in? Get ready to warm your heart and your belly. *Nutrition values are representative of a 1 cup serving*

Reviews from our home cooks
Good taste. A bit spicy. Has a kick. Why sugar and sodium. Wish recipes had less of both. Makes 3 cups or 2 bowls.
Very good but very spicy. Should say vegan spicy chili so people are aware. The only place it even suggests spicy is saying "spiced beans" in the description which most prob don't read in depth.
Love the idea of using sweet potatoes in any dish. This chili was a bit dry.
Yummy, spicy but not too spicy! The sweet potatoes were a nice touch!
This chili is fantastic! And love that it is heat and eat!! Please offer this throughout the winter. I don't see it as an option moving forward and that's very disappointing.
Yes, this is absolutely delicious. I was surprised. Please don't take it off the menu. If more people tried it, they would order it all the time.
Omg was this delish!!! If I can find more of these I will definitely be buying more!
It was tasty, but the spices didn't agree with my stomach.
It was difficult serving it from the plastic bag. Very filling.
