Delicious Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sauté until translucent.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Add Sweet Potatoes

    Stir in diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, mixing well.

    This helps to soften the sweet potatoes.
  3. Incorporate Spices

    Add chili powder and cumin, stirring to coat the vegetables evenly.

    This enhances the flavors of the chili.
  4. Add Remaining Ingredients

    Pour in the black beans, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Stir well.

    Make sure all ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
  5. Simmer the Chili

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender.

    Stir occasionally to avoid sticking.
