Vegan Sweet Potato Chili

Excellent spicy fast food for lunch or dinner. The dinner is actually made by the egg. Right now, we are very smitten with this dish! It tastes great when served with tomato and cucumber slices.

This recipe was just excellent. Upon advice from others I omitted the the jalapano pepper and it was still spicy enough for my tastes.
Sarah Olsen
I added zucchini too! My dinner guests loved it and asked for the recipe!

Very good recipe. I used 1 can of kidney beans and a can of black beans. I didn’t notice until I opened the black beans that they had lime & jalapeno peppers, so I omitted the jalapenos that the recipe called for. I also used half the chili powder, but it still turned out pretty spicey. I was trying to tone it down because my husband doesn’t like hot foods and he couldn’t finish his. I thought it was good, but next time I’ll omit any jalapenos. Love the sweet potatoes.

This is the best recipe, you don’t even know its vegan, it tastes just like regular chili, will be making this again!
Jason Burnett
I liked the recipe and I’m not vegan. I will make it again!
Thomas Weaver
YUMMY! Try it, you won’t be disappointed
Mariah Beasley
Delicious! I left out the jalapeno because the pepper flakes are as hot as I can handle it – it came out awesome.
Patrick Martin
Great flavor! My husband LOVES this chili recipe!! I have made this quite a few times without altering the recipe. It’s good even if you skimp on the amount of cook time, but it’s GREAT if you don’t and the next day…Yum!!
Nicole Craig
Super tasty! I was given some sweet potato’s and had no idea what to make with them. I’m so happy I found this recipe it’s very good. I did add cheese so mines not all the way vegan but it’s very good! Thanks!

Delicious! We’re not vegan, or even vegetarian, but I had a large sweet potato left over that I needed to use. I made a couple of changes because of what I had on-hand… had to replace the smoked paprika with chipotle chili powder, and the veg stock with chicken, and used a can of white kidney beans and Bush’s chili beans (both rinsed). I also added a splash of olive oil when cooking the onions. Otherwise followed directions exactly. Served with hot cornbread. Yummy!

Nice blend of flavors. One of the best vegan recipes that I have tried.

This is my favorite chili! Even my husband and son like it and they aren’t big chili lovers! The spices are just the right amount of kick!
Elizabeth Walker
Revolting, even worse the next day. I used all organic and followed the recipe exactly. Had high hopes for this.
Robert Moon
I like the chili very much! I did change the kidney beans to black beans. The combination of flavors come together well.
Joseph Daniel
LOVED this recipe! Super easy and we had almost every ingredient already in the house. So delicious with some vegan mozzarella sprinkled on top!

Love this recipe! My wife kicked it up a couple notches with the following modifications: she sautéed the onion, jalapeño & garlic first; when they were done, she moved them over to one side in the bottom of the pot and browned the tomato paste in the open space for about 3-4 minutes (until it became fragrant); she blended them together then moved the mixture over to one side in the bottom of the pot and toasted the seasonings in the open space for about a minute or 2; in addition to the seasonings in the recipe, she added 1 tsp cinnamon & 1 tbspn brown sugar; once all the liquids were in, she added 1 tsp balsamic vinegar; she added one cup of corn to the beans; she used one can of black beans & 1 can of great northern beans; finally, she topped it with vegan cheddar cheese. It was out of this world!!
Ashley Barnes
