Step 1

Place the sweet potatoes, beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, kale, onion, cumin, chili powder, garlic, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, and water in a slow cooker. Use organic for all products as you can. Use low-sodium options too. Rinse beans off with water to rinse off excess salt. Always choose good quality tomato pastes and sauces.

Step 2

Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours. Season with salt. See tips in step 3 below.

Step 3

May use frozen and precut options for this recipe. Also, may substitute pumpkin puree and butternut squash for sweet potatoes. Gold potatoes would work too, but not offer the same benefits. Although, they would still be a healthy option. By keeping skin on all potatoes, you keep a lot of good vitamins, minerals, and fiber in your dishes.
