My Loaded Vegan Chili recipe is currently one of THE MOST popular recipes on my blog right so I thought it would be fun to create a slightly different version of that recipe. Since I love sweet potato in basically everything, we’re making a Sweet Potato Vegan Chili today!

While I’ve never made this in a slow cooker, I think that it would work well! If you end up trying it out, please do let me know how it turns out. I’m hoping to test that out soon and will update you on how I liked it.

One of the main reasons I love easy chilis like this: they’re GREAT for meal prep! Ok, truthfully, I don’t really do a lot of meal prepping, since I work from home, BUT I am always happy to have these leftovers in the fridge.

But what I’m saying is: if I WAS a meal-prepper, I would 1000% make this sweet potato chili on the regular during the colder winter months! :)

How to make Sweet Potato Chili:

One of the things that I love about this vegan chili is that it comes together in just ONE big pot. Perfect for meal prep and easy weeknight dinners :D

First we’ll start out by sautéing the veggies a bit before adding in the remaining ingredients. The whole thing is brought to a simmer and cooked for about 30 minutes so that the sweet potato is soft and cooked through.

THAT’S IT! Super simple and minimal clean up!
