Introduction

Based on a Real Simple recipe... But I doubled the beans, sweet potatoes, and seasonings and added carrots and beets for an extra veggie oomph. Based on a Real Simple recipe... But I doubled the beans, sweet potatoes, and seasonings and added carrots and beets for an extra veggie oomph.

Ingredients

    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 medium yellow onion, chopped
    1 large carrots, chopped
    4 garlic cloves, chopped
    2 tablespoons chili powder
    2 tablespoons ground cumin
    4 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon red pepper
    1 tablespoon smoked paprika
    sea salt (varies dependent on low or no sodium tomatoes)
    2 15.5-ounce cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes with chilis
    2 15.5-ounce can black beans
    2 15.5-ounce can chili beans
    2 medium sweet potatoes (about 8 ounces), peeled and cut into 1⁄2-inch pieces
    1 beet

    vegan sour cream and tortilla chips, for serving

Directions

You can make this in a slow cooker by combining all the ingredients in said slow cooker and slow cooking them until the sweet potatoes are tender.

However, I saute the onions, carrots, and garlic in a large stock pot until tender or onions are even starting to char, adding the sweet potatoes as I chop them. Then I add all the canned goods, undrained. Once everything is hot in the stock pot, I add all the seasonings, stir to mix, and heat over low to medium heat (sometimes I'm in a hurry) until the potatoes are cooked. I love vegan sour cream on this chili but my family eats it with cheese, fritos, tortillas... everything you'd put in regular chili.

Serving size is 1.5 cups.
