• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 medium (diced) bell pepper
• 0.5 cup (chopped, for garnish) fresh cilantro
• 1 medium (cut into wedges, for serving) lime
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into roughly 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Stir in the diced sweet potatoes, cherry tomatoes, diced bell pepper, chipotle peppers, and adobo sauce. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Add the smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender.

Step 7
