Sweet Potato Chili Recipe
This Sweet Potato Chili combines diced sweet potatoes, carrots, celery, and bell peppers with a blend of chili powder, oregano, cumin, and liquid smoke for depth. Simmered with crushed tomatoes, vegetable stock, and a touch of coconut sugar, it offers a balanced, mildly smoky chili with added chickpeas and corn for texture and substance. The recipe uses common vegetables and vegan-friendly ingredients, making it suitable for plant-based meals and hearty enough for cooler weather.
