Slow Cooker Vegan Sweet Potato Chili
This dish is loaded with flavor and perfect for those cozy days when you just want to snuggle on the couch with a big bowl of goodness. And the best part? It’s incredibly simple to make! Let’s get cooking!
Ingredients:
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 1 cup corn (frozen or fresh, your call!)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (don’t skimp on the garlic, folks!)
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- Fresh cilantro and avocado for topping
Instructions:
- In your magic slow cooker, toss in the sweet potatoes, black beans, diced tomatoes, corn, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Look at those colors—what a party!
- Now, let’s spice things up! Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Give it a little stir, just enough to mix up the flavors.
- Pour in the vegetable broth. This is like giving your chili a warm bath—soak it all in!
- Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for about 6-8 hours. During this time, you can imagine all the wonderful flavors combining while you put your feet up and relax. Alternatively, you can set it on high for 3-4 hours if you are in a hurry—life’s too short to wait for chili, right?
- When the time’s up (and you’re probably salivating by now), give it all a good stir. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary, then serve it generously in bowls.
- Top with some fresh cilantro and slices of avocado for that extra flair—because we all know it’s not just food, it’s an Instagram moment!
Your healthy, hearty, and oh-so-yummy vegan sweet potato chili is ready to make an entrance! Enjoy it with your loved ones, distract them from their winter blues, and you might even find they’ve forgiven you for that cooking mishap you had last week. Bon appétit!
