Three Bean Sweet Potato Chili
Here’s one of our family’s favorite unprocessed recipes. I like to make it at the end of the week, when we have corn, kale, tomatoes and beans leftover from other meals we’ve enjoyed during the week!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon crushed garlic
- 1 small green pepper diced
- 1 large sweet potato diced
- 1 cup chopped kale
- 4 cups cooked black beans
- 4 cups cooked pinto beans
- 1 cup cooked kidney beans
- 2 cups corn kernels
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin optional
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika optional
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste or homemade ketchup
- 3 cups crushed tomatoes
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, combine the olive oil, garlic, green pepper, sweet potato, kale, beans, and corn. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
- Add the seasonings, tomato paste and crushed tomatoes, and stir to combine.
- Cover, and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 35-40 minutes. (Add water if necessary during the cooking process to avoid burning the chili.)
- Once the vegetables are tender, remove from the heat, and serve warm. Garnish with Greek yogurt, parsley and cheese, and enjoy!
