Sweet Potato Stew in a bowl ### Ingredients:

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 medium onion, chopped
2 carrots, sliced
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes, with juice
4 cups vegetable broth
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 cups fresh spinach or kale
Juice of 1 lemon
Fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro) for garnish

Instructions:

Begin by preparing all your vegetables. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, chop the onion, slice the carrots, and chop the celery and red bell pepper.
In your crockpot or Instant Pot, combine the sweet potatoes, onion, carrots, celery, red bell pepper, garlic, diced tomatoes (with juice), vegetable broth, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
If you’re using a crockpot, cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. For an Instant Pot, cover and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes, then let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before doing a quick release.
Once the cooking time is up, stir in the chickpeas and greens. Allow them to heat through for about 5 minutes.
Finish by squeezing fresh lemon juice over your stew for a burst of flavor. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs.

This Sweet Potato Stew is perfect for chilly evenings and is sure to please everyone at the table. Plus, it’s vegan-friendly and can easily be adapted to suit your preferences or dietary needs. Enjoy a bowl of this hearty stew and share the warmth with your loved ones!
