Warming one pot sweet potato and bean chilli is the perfect vegan dinner!
It’s that time of year when I want hot breakfasts, lunches and dinners to keep me warm. It seems to be colder than ever this winter and I can’t leave the house without wearing thermals and two pairs of socks. I must be getting old.
I’m all about quick dinners after a day of work which require minimal time spent in the kitchen, and little washing up.
The main ingredients in this chilli are sweet potato and kidney beans which means you can eat a big bowl of it on its own without cooking up some rice.
Which you can do of course, if you’re not lazy like me! I like it pretty spicy, but you can sub the hot chilli powder for mild or medium if you prefer.
I can’t eat a chilli without topping it with a big dollop of sour cream, guacamole and a handful of fresh coriander.
As always if you make this one pot sweet potato and bean chilli be sure to leave me a comment, rate this recipe and tag me on Instagram. I love seeing all your photos of my recipe recreations!

- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 leek
- 2 sweet potatoes

Instructions

Check the potatoes with a knife and when almost soft and ready, drain the kidney beans and add to the pan. Leave this for a further 5 minutes.
