Vegan Sweet Potato Chili

Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 jalapeno pepper, minced
• 2 sweet potatoes, diced
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 1/2 teaspoons tomato paste
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 2 cups drained and rinsed kidney beans

Directions

Heat 5 tablespoons vegetable broth in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, garlic, and jalapeno pepper in the hot broth until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Add sweet potatoes, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, and red pepper flakes to onion mixture. Pour remaining 2 cups vegetable broth over sweet potato mixture.
