Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Peel and dice the 2 sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Dice the 1 small onion.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the 1 tbsp olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in the 1 tsp ground cumin and 0.5 tsp salt, then add the sweet potatoes and 2 cups vegetable broth. Bring to a boil.

  4. Step 4

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until sweet potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Mash lightly with a fork for a thicker stew.

  5. Step 5

    Taste and adjust salt if needed. Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs.
