Chickpea Sweet Potato Stew

Easy one-pot recipe

This hearty filling stew is packed with healthy and wholesome ingredients: chickpeas, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and spices. It’s flavorful and warming, and can be ready in under an hour.

It makes an easy plant-based lunch or dinner recipe that’s also gluten-free and grain-free.

Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for 2 days. When reheating the stew, you’ll need to add some water or cashew cream and give it a good stir because the stew usually thickens in the fridge.
