Instructions

  1. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add in the onion, sweet potato, poblano, and jalapeño. Season with salt and pepper and sauté for 5-6 minutes. Add in the garlic and all of the dried spices and sauté another 2 minutes.
  2. Add in the tomato paste and stir it into the vegetables. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, green chiles, maple syrup, and vegetable broth. Scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
  3. Bring the chili to a boil, then pour in the red lentils. Stir everything together and lower the heat to medium low. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the lentils are tender. Stir occasionally so that the lentils don't stick to the bottom of the pot.
  4. If the chili starts to get too thick, pour in additional broth or water. Once the lentils are tender stir in the black beans and kidney beans and bring it back up to a simmer. Serve the chili topped with diced red onion, avocado, and cilantro if desired.
