Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 3

Transfer the sautéed onion, bell pepper, and garlic mixture to the crock pot.

Step 4

Add the diced sweet potatoes, black beans, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and vegetable broth to the crock pot.

Step 5

Sprinkle the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper evenly over the ingredients in the crock pot.

Step 6

Stir everything together in the crock pot to ensure the spices and ingredients are well combined.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together.

Step 8

Once cooked, taste the chili and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or spices if needed.

Step 9

Serve the chili hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
