Vegan Chilli Stuffed Sweet Potatoes © foodspring

A quick chilli, made with kidney beans and tinned tomatoes, is a great recipe to know off by heart for when you need a quick and satisfying dinner. You can serve it so many ways – over rice, in tacos or enchiladas. One of my favourite things to do with it is to serve the vegan chilli stuffed into roasted sweet potatoes with a spoonful of vegan yogurt and some fresh coriander on top.

2 Persons

  • 2 medium
    sweet potatoes
  • 1 tbsp

    Preheat the oven to 180C. Prick the sweet potatoes with a knife or fork a few times and wrap in kitchen foil. Place on a tray and roast until soft – around 45-60 minutes.

    Heat the oil in a medium frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onions and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are turning golden – around 10 to 15 minutes.

  • 3

    Pour in the kidney beans with the liquid from their tin, the chopped tomatoes, the spices and soy sauce. Stir together then let this simmer for 15-20 minutes until thickened. Taste and season with salt/chilli powder as needed.
