  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained

  4. Season with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir well.
  5. Bring the chili 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.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a thicker chili, simmer uncovered for the last 15-20 minutes.
  • This chili freezes well. Allow to cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers.
  • Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level.
  • You can add other vegetables like corn or zucchini for extra flavor and nutrients.
