Instructions
- 1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, add the chopped onion and bell peppers. Sauté over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, adding a tablespoon or two of vegetable broth or water if needed to prevent sticking, until softened.
- 2
Add the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir well and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the rinsed black beans, kidney beans, crushed tomatoes, diced sweet potato, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
- 4
Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper as needed.
- 5
Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro and diced avocado. Enjoy your warm and hearty oil-free chili!
Pro Tips
High in fiber at 15g per serving, this dish will keep you full and satisfied for hours.
Don't skip the seasoning. Vegan comfort food shines when you're generous with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
This makes a big batch. Leftovers store well in the fridge for 3-4 days, and most components freeze beautifully for up to 3 months.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
