No oil AND packed with flavor?

I know what you’re thinking.

Probably as skeptical as I look in this picture! But yes you can make dishes without oil still packed to the brim with nutrition.

But in my opinion, the more flexible you can be, the better cook you become. So keep it fresh with this no-oil sweet potato stew!
