Sweet Potato One-Pot Warmer

This sweet potato one-pot warmer is a simple dinner made with everyday ingredients. Everything cooks in a single pot, which keeps prep and cleanup easy. Sweet potatoes form the base and soften as they simmer, giving the dish body and natural sweetness. White beans add plant protein and make the meal filling enough for dinner. Vegetable stock and thyme tie everything together without needing extra seasoning.

The ingredient list stays short and familiar. Onion and garlic cook first to build flavor, then the rest goes straight into the pot. Sweet potatoes break down slightly as they cook, while the beans hold their shape. Spinach wilts in at the end and adds color and texture. The result is a thick, spoonable dish that’s high in fiber and nourishing.

It also works well for weeknight dinners when time is limited. It’s also a good option for batch cooking, since the flavors hold up after a night in the fridge. Reheat leftovers for lunch or dinner and serve them on their own or with bread.
