As we've been stocking our kitchens and eating at home a lot more during this unprecedented time of social distancing, many of us are looking for new recipes and healthy meal ideas that will keep us full and provide ample nutrition to help us stay well. This comforting Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili comes to together quickly and uses many pantry staples that registered dietitians recommend stocking up on, including produce with a longer shelf life like sweet potatoes and inexpensive canned goods like beans and tomatoes.

To make the recipe vegan, skip the dollop of Greek yogurt or substitute with your favorite dairy-free alternative.
