Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by prepping all your ingredients. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes, chop the onion, and dice the bell peppers. Mince the garlic and slice the avocados.

    Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Then add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

      Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pot and stir well. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing them to slightly soften.

        Add Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes (including the juices), red bell pepper, green bell pepper, vegetable broth, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Bring this mixture to a light boil.

          Simmer the Chili: Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the chili simmer for 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally, ensuring the sweet potatoes are tender and the flavors meld together.

            Adjust Seasoning: Taste the chili and adjust the seasonings if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or chili powder based on your preference.

              Assemble the Bowls: Serve the chili hot in bowls, topped with fresh avocado slices and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Squeeze lime wedges over the top for a zesty kick.

                Enjoy: Enjoy your Sweet Potato Chili Bowls warm, allowing the comforting flavors to delight your taste buds!
