Sweet Potato, Black Bean and Chickpea Chili [vegan] by The Flexitarian

I love chilli and here I combined the flavours of this sweet potato, black bean and chickpeas chilli with cocoa powder. This dish makes a hearty dinner that vegans, vegetarians and non-vegetarians can enjoy together.

Serve it with rice, tortilla chips and (vegan) cheese.
