Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Chili

If you’re looking for some vegan comfort food to warm you up this winter, make this chili!

This is one of those recipes that I want to have all the ingredients on hand for at all times. It’s the perfect mix of simple, convenient, delicious, and comforting. Plus, now that I work from home, I get to smell it cooking all day long and have something great to look forward to!

I decided to make this just recently when I knew I would have a busy morning and a busy afternoon. I ended up prepping the veggies and making my spice mix the night before and throwing everything together in the morning. It doesn’t get much better than that!

Spice Mix Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp chili powder
• 1/2 tbsp cumin
• 1/2 tbsp oregano
• 2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp himalayan salt

Of course, make sure to take note of any amounts you want to change the second time you make it! This is my favorite combination.

Other Ingredients:

• 1 medium yellow onion
• 6 cloves garlic
• 1 cup dried quinoa
• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans
• 1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans
• 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes
• 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
• 1 large sweet potato
• 6 cups water

Method:

• Veggie prep: dice the sweet potatoes, onion, and garlic. You’ll also need to drain & rinse both cans of beans and rinse the quinoa.
• Once everything has been prepped from the last step, this becomes a dump dinner! Add it all to your slow cooker and stir to combine.
• Cook it on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.
• Top with sliced avocado, cilantro, parsley, etc.
• Enjoy & share! This keeps in the fridge for about a week, and it freezes & reheats very well.
