Notes


1.

For a smoother chili, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the chili after the sweet potatoes are cooked.

2.

Feel free to add other vegetables like corn, zucchini, or carrots to the chili.

3.

For a spicier chili, add more cayenne pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes.

4.

This chili can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It also freezes well.
