Eric discovered this unexpected combo at a café after clocking 8-hour surf sessions in Jeffreys Bay, South Africa. You know what else works up an appetite? Making a baby. This is the ultimate shovel food—minimal effort getting food to your mouth, maximum satisfaction. Perfectly steamed or roasted sweet potatoes become the base for warm chili, melty butter, and a handful of toppings. It’s hearty, easy, and nutrient-dense—ideal for pregnancy, postpartum, or anyone who’s just really hungry.

Method

Place a steamer basket in a large pot. Add 2-3 inches of water to the pot, making sure it doesn’t touch the basket. Bring to a boil; then reduce to a simmer. Add sweet potatoes in a single layer to basket, cover, and steam for 30-40 minutes, until fork-tender.
If roasting the sweet potatoes, preheat the oven to 350°F. Wrap each potato in foil and bake for 45 minutes, until soft and tender.
Let the cooked potatoes cool for 10 minutes. Cut slices into the potatoes and gently push both ends toward the center to open them up.
Add 1 tablespoon butter to the center of each, spreading it as it melts. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
Top each potato with a generous scoop of chili, sliced scallions, and a spoonful of sour cream. Serve warm.

TESTER’S NOTE

Great way to get your nutrients in. 10/10 on point!
