Tips for Making the Best Spicy Sweet Potato and Lentil Stew:

- **Choose the right lentils.** Brown or green lentils work well in this stew. They hold their shape well and have a slightly nutty flavor. - **Roast the sweet potatoes before adding them to the stew.** This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor. - **Use a good quality vegetable broth.** The broth is the base of the stew, so it's important to use a good one.

If you like things spicier, you can add more of these spices to taste. - **Serve with your favorite toppings.** This stew is delicious on its own, but it's even better when served with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include chopped cilantro, plain yogurt, and a squeeze of lime juice.
