This one-pot stew is quick to make and a perfect mid-week healthy dinner. I love making a simple vegetable stew like this black bean stew. It can be easily made on a busy night by using canned black beans.

I like that it is one meal in a bowl as it has protein, fiber and carbohydrates as well being delicious with a coconut paprika-based stew.

This black bean sweet potato stew is also great for leftover lunches or to have on hand in the freezer. You can easily double up on the recipe to enjoy for dinner and have a batch in the freezer for lunches in winter.

You can easily sub the sweet potatoes for pumpkin or potatoes or add different vegetables to the stew.
