Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
- Avocado, diced, for garnish
- Sour cream (dairy or plant-based), for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
- Add diced sweet potatoes, crushed tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, corn, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir to combine.
- Pour in vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour, stirring occasionally, until sweet potatoes are tender and flavors have melded.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro, diced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier chili, add more cayenne pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- This chili freezes well. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- Serve with cornbread or tortilla chips for a complete meal.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more vegetable broth if you prefer a thinner chili.
