Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium (peeled and diced) sweet potatoes
- 2 15-ounce cans (drained and rinsed) black beans
- 2 15-ounce cans (undrained) diced tomatoes
- 1 large (diced) red bell pepper
- 1 large (diced) yellow onion
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 cup (chopped, for garnish) fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) lime juice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Transfer the sautéed onion, bell pepper, and garlic mixture to the crock pot.
Add the diced sweet potatoes, black beans, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and vegetable broth to the crock pot.
Sprinkle the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper evenly over the ingredients in the crock pot.
Stir everything together in the crock pot to ensure the spices and ingredients are well combined.
Cover the crock pot and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Once cooked, taste the chili and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or spices if needed.
Serve the chili hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
