How do you serve it?

This sweet potato chili can easily be served by itself in a bowl with a spoon, for a lighter dinner or lunch option. You can also serve it with rice, baked potatoes, cornbread muffins or mashed potato for a fuller meal. I kept my toppings for this chili simple, with just some fresh parsley, but you can easily add more traditional toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, sliced avocado and diced jalapeños.

Can you make it ahead of time?

Chili is such a great make ahead dinner. I often make a big batch at the start of the week and have the leftovers a few days later. Make up the chili, as per the recipe, then let it cool completely to room temperature. Transfer it to an airtight container and keep it in the fridge. It will keep well for up to 4 days. Reheat the chili on the stovetop on a gentle heat, stirring occasionally, until it is heated through.

Can you freeze it?

This sweet potato chili makes for a good freezer meal. Freeze the cooled recipe in airtight containers for up to 6 months. Thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating and serving. Sweet potato chili (with a side of cornbread) will be the most comforting meal you make all winter!
