Sweet Potato and Greens Stew

Stay warm with this Vegan Sweet Potato Stew with Greens recipe that is filled with hearty in-season veggies. Since it’s winter now, I’m focused on leafy greens like Swiss chard and kale and hearty root vegetables like beets and sweet potatoes. Here, carrots, onions, sweet potatoes, fire-roasted tomatoes, and tender greens all combine for a cozy stew that will warm you up on a chilly day. Seasoned with earthy, warm spices, this complex vegan dish bursts with bold flavors. Finish it off with a splash of bright lime juice and garnish with chopped cilantro for a fresh, citrusy flavor.

To make the stew, start by cooking the onions and carrots in olive oil. Add minced garlic and spices, and cook for a few more minutes. Then, mix in the sweet potatoes and let them soften. Next, pour in the broth and crushed tomatoes, bringing everything to a boil. Add the leafy greens and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender. Finally, stir in fresh lime juice and top with cilantro before serving. Enjoy!
