Notes

  • Recipe makes about 8 cups
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge.
  • Make Ahead Tips: You can chop everything up to 2 days in advance. Sweet potatoes can stay chopped at room temperature or in the fridge without getting spoiled. 
  • Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However you can switch up the beans though and some of the spices if you prefer.
