Spicy Sweet Potato Chili with Pineapple
Description
The Spicy Sweet Potato Chili with Pineapple starts with sautéed onion, sweet potato, and parsnip softened in oil, then simmered with smoked paprika and diced tomatoes to build depth. Adding pineapple, red beans, corn, and bell peppers introduces a balance of sweetness and earthiness, while chili powder and black pepper adjust the heat. The mixture simmers until the sweet potatoes are tender, creating a thick and textured chili with a blend of flavors that are both savory and fruity. The dish pairs well with rice or naan, lending a filling quality suitable for lunch or dinner. Fresh herbs or pickled jalapenos provide optional bright or tangy notes. The recipe’s assembly and simmering steps accommodate flexible timing and ingredient adjustments according to taste.
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato peeled and cubed
- 1/4 large pineapple cubed
- 2 cans red beans
- 1 small corn canned
- 2 red bell pepper
- 1 parsnip
- 2 onion
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp neutral cooking oil any flavourless oil, generic cooking oil
- salt
- black pepper
- chili powder
- 1 1/5 rice cup
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, and sauté for 1 minute until softened. Add the sweet potato and the diced parsnip, and give everything a good mix.
- Add enough water to cover the ingredients and cook for about 7 minutes until the sweet potato is half cooked.
- Add one tablespoon of smoked paprika, the diced tomatoes, stir and cover for about 5 minutes so that the tomatoes can lose some of their juice and the water evaporates.
- Add the remaining ingredients: pineapple chunks, chopped bell peppers, red beans, corn, salt, pepper and chili powder. Cover and allow to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, or until the potato has softened.
- Serve in bowls with rice or naan, and sprinkle a little fresh coriander or pickled jalapenos on top, if you wish!
