Sweet Potato (or Butternut Squash) Veggie Chili

Another budget bowl! Hearty, wholesome, and completely meatless — but still filling.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (jarred is fine)
  • 2 cups cubed sweet potatoes or butternut squash (can use frozen!)
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil and sauté onion and garlic until fragrant.
  2. Add sweet potatoes, beans, tomatoes, and seasonings. Stir well.
  3. Add 1 cup water or broth and simmer for 25–30 minutes, until veggies are tender.
  4. Serve with Greek yogurt, avocado, and fresh cilantro.

Family Tip: This reheats beautifully — double the batch for easy lunches all week.
