  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cans (15 oz each) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (28 oz) diced fire-roasted tomatoes
3 cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
Optional toppings: Avocado, cilantro, sour cream

Instructions

Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat.
Step 2: Add the onion and bell pepper, sautéing for about 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
Step 3: Stir in the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Add the cubed sweet potatoes, black beans, diced tomatoes (with juices), and vegetable broth.
Step 5: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Step 6: Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For a smokier flavor, add a teaspoon of minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. This chili freezes perfectly for up to 3 months.
