Whole30 Chili Fries
I’m all about making comfort foods in a healthy and delicious way! These Whole30 Chili Fries are savory, hearty and so flavorful. The sweet potatoes are crispy on the outside with warm soft centers. All the topping are sure to delight anyone! My other favorite game day appetizer is my Whole30 Buffalo Chicken Dip. You can’t go wrong with either!
HOW TO MAKE CHILI FRIES
To begin, roast sweet potatoes at 400 degrees for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through. Meanwhile, add ground beef to a large skillet over medium heat. Use your spatula or a meat mixer to break up the meat. Cook until brown and crumbly. Discard any excess grease from the skillet. Add in the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Bring this to a boil and boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. After 10 minutes, lower heat to a low simmer. Simmer for 10 to 12 minutes or until chili is thick. Top sweet potatoes with chili and garnish with onions, parsley and BBQ sauce, optional.
TIPS AND TRICKS FOR CHILI FRIES
The biggest tip for making these chili fries is to roast the sweet potatoes until they’re soft and tender. Crunchy sweet potatoes just don’t taste as good! To ensure that this is Whole30 compliant, be sure to check the labels of all the ingredients. There are some tomato pastes that have unnecessary added sugars. Lastly, if you have time, allow the chili to simmer even longer than the 10 to 15 minutes. The longer it simmers, the more flavorful and thick it will become. Thick chili will lead to a better result here.

Does this recipe require marinara? In the blog post you write about checking the ingredients for marinara, but in the list of ingredients it does not say to use marinara. Should I include it?
Hi Madison! I just updated the blog post. I meant tomato paste, which is now in the recipe. Hope you enjoy!
