*REPOST* Originally published February 19th 2014. Updated with new photos + video. I’m in the process of re-visiting some old recipes and giving them a re-vamp with some new photos and video instructions so you might see some familiar recipes resurfacing every now and then!

This recipe I first posted three years ago and is still one of my staple favourites. It’s just SO easy to make and packs in so much flavour and nutrition.

The heat in this vegetarian chilli really hits the spot. Just looking at it makes me feel better with all those warm, bright colours and inviting textures.

It’s frugal, super-nutritious and even meat-lovers will enjoy this as the sweet potato is so flavourful, filling and satisfying that they won’t miss the meat.
