SLOW COOKER SPICY BLACK BEAN AND SWEET POTATO CHILI

Slow Cooker Spicy Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chili image

This nourishing, smoky vegan chili is perfect for cold weeknights. Mix everything in the slow cooker before the chaos of the day begins, then just toss in some frozen corn a few minutes before you're ready to eat. As with any chili, toppings go far. Feel free to throw on what you have and what sounds good, like tortilla chips, cilantro or vegan cheese. The recipe calls for either coconut oil or vegetable oil. If you'd like a mild coconut flavor - which plays well with the orange juice in the chili - choose unrefined or virgin coconut oil. For a neutral flavor, choose refined coconut oil or any vegetable oil. Use one chipotle chile for a very mild chili, and four if you like yours very spicy.

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (4 to 5 small-medium or about 2 large), scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, drained
1 (28-ounce) can crushed or diced tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
1 to 4 chipotles from a can of chipotles in adobo, finely chopped, plus 3 tablespoons adobo sauce
2 packed tablespoons light brown sugar
Juice of 1 lime (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
6 garlic cloves, smashed and roughly chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 (10-ounce) bag frozen corn
Sliced avocado and red onion, for topping

Steps:

In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the sweet potatoes, black beans, tomatoes, orange juice, oil, chipotles and adobo sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic cloves, and dried spices. Stir in 2 teaspoons salt, a generous amount of pepper and 1 cup water. Cook on low until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 8 hours. The chili holds well on the warm setting.
Just before serving, stir in the corn and let it warm through, about 5 minutes. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Top with avocado and red onion.

SPICY BLACK BEAN AND SWEET POTATO CHILI

Spicy Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chili image

This thick, smoky vegan chili comes together in just under an hour, and most of that time is hands-off simmering. You can use any kind of sweet potato here - keep in mind that the orange or garnet "yam" you see at the grocery store is actually a sweet potato - but you could also switch it up and use any peeled sweet winter squash, like butternut or kabocha. The recipe calls for either coconut oil or vegetable oil. If you'd like a mild coconut flavor, which plays well with the orange juice, choose unrefined or virgin coconut oil; for a neutral flavor, choose refined coconut oil or any vegetable oil. Use one chipotle chile for a very mild chili, and four if you like yours very spicy. (Get the slow-cooker version of this recipe here.)

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1/4 cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
1 large yellow or red onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt and black pepper
6 garlic cloves, smashed and roughly chopped
2 packed tablespoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
3/4 cup orange juice
1 to 4 chipotles from a can of chipotles in adobo, finely chopped, plus 3 tablespoons adobo sauce
1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (4 to 5 small-medium or about 2 large), scrubbed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, drained
1 (28-ounce) can crushed or diced tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted
Juice of 1 lime (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
1 (10-ounce) bag frozen corn
Sliced avocado and red onion, for topping

Steps:

In a large Dutch oven, warm the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring and adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the brown sugar, cumin, garlic and onion powders, and stir to combine. Add the orange juice and let it come to a simmer. Add the chipotles and adobo sauce, sweet potatoes, beans, tomatoes and lime juice. Season generously with black pepper and 2 teaspoons salt. Stir in 1 1/4 cups water and bring to a boil.
Once the chili comes to a boil, decrease the heat to low to maintain a simmer. Cover the pot and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
Just before serving, stir in the corn and let it warm through. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Top with avocado and red onion.

BLACK BEAN 'N' PUMPKIN CHILI

Black Bean 'n' Pumpkin Chili image

My family is crazy about this slow cooker chili because it uses ingredients you don't usually find in chili. Believe it or not, I discovered that pumpkin is what makes the dish so special. Cook up a big batch and freeze some for later; it tastes even better reheated. -Deborah Vliet, Holland, Michigan

Pumpkin, Sweet Potato, & Black Bean Chili Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by laurenzembron

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup finely chopped yellow or white onion
2 serrano chile peppers, minced (you can seed both, one, or neither depending on your heat preference)
2 large cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp chili powder (ancho or chipotle would work nicely, as well)
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, or more to taste
1 cup unseasoned tomato sauce/puree
1 cup pumpkin puree (I used homemade, but canned would be fine)
1 cup pumpkin beer (use whatever brew you'd like; for me, it doesn't get any better than Southern Tier Pumking Imperial Pumpkin Ale)
1 cup water
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 (15 oz) can low-sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups peeled and cubed sweet potatoes

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add in the serrano and garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the spices and cook for 1 minute. Add in the tomato sauce, pumpkin puree, beer, and water. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, add the beans and sweet potato, and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender, the chili has thickened, and the flavors have melded, at least 1 hour.
