This Sweet Potato Chili is whole30 approved, healthy, and packed with rich, sweet and spicy flavor!
I made this Sweet Potato Chili a couple of years ago when I was doing Whole 30 for the first time (just after I had Graham!) I made it over the weekend and decided it needed some new photos, and uh…some chips! It’s still whole 30 approved if you ditch the chips. You can use the Trader Joe’s plantain chips if you want to keep it clean 🙂
This Sweet Potato Chili was hands-down, our favorite Whole30 recipe when we did. So good, I made it at least twice a week. But when I was done with Whole30 I kind of forgot about it…
Spending last week in Utah got me really in the mood for soups and chilis. It was so cold there, I wanted hot chocolate every morning and soup every night. Of course we ended up eating out for every meal but it sparked a serious craving. It’s still warm here but I tossed everything in the slow cooker Saturday morning so we could eat that night.
It’s so stinking good!
Loaded with onion and bell peppers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and ground beef , you won’t miss the beans in this chili. To really give it some flavor and depth, I seasoned the chili with adobe seasoning and a dash of cinnamon. I was skeptical at first, but man, these flavors work well together.
If you are doing Whole30 you can enjoy it with plantain chips. And you absolutely MUST add sliced avocado or a scoop of guacamole. Mmm….I’m ready to make it again already!

Hi Kristy! Do you happen to have the nutrition facts for this recipe? Also, if on Whole30 can I buy coconut milk at the store or do I need to make my own? Thanks!!
I bought my coconut milk at the store. But I’m not sure on the calories or nutritional info…I just know the ingredients are whole30 approved!

I LOVE your recipe here, but it seems to have disappeared from the page. Help!
I wish I would have written the ingredients down…I really enjoyed this meal. Can you re-post the recipe, please?
Susan it should be there now! Had an issue with all of the recipe cards on my site! Sorry!
When you say coconut milk are you referring to the kind in the can or the kind sold by the regular milk??
the kind in the can!
I don’t have any adobo seasoning….can you suggest a substitute?
I’d just use a blend of salt, garlic, oregano, pepper, and cumin. Maybe equal parts of each!
Make your own adobo it’s really simple you would be surprised how many seasonings are simple to make when my wife and I did whole 30 I made a lot of the seasonings because most of them like Johnny’s and others have sugar
I was worried whether Sweet Potato Chili recipe can be adjusted in my Whole30 dieting plan or not because of the presence of chips. However, you have mentioned a very fine substitution of the chips and thus my problem has been resolved. My friend recommended to visit this website where I am getting very delicious and mouthwatering recipes. Perhaps these recipes could ease out some things for me since I am into the Ketosis again.
