For the chili

1 pcs yellow onion(chopped finely)
3 pcs cloves garlic(minced)
1 tsp Sea Salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 pcs bay leaf
1 pc bell pepper
1 pc sweet potatoe(peeled and cut into small cubes)
1 tsp smoked paprika powder
1 tsp sweet paprika powder
1/2 tsp chipotle seasoning
1 tsp cumin, ground
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup vegetable stock
1 pc black beans, canned
1 pc kidney beans
1 pc tomato sauce
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup sweet corn

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic together with the salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Sauté gently until the onion becomes translucent. This step is key—taking your time here creates depth.
Stir in the bell pepper and cook for a few minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
Add the sweet potato cubes along with all the spices (paprika, chipotle, cumin, garlic powder). Stir well so everything is evenly coated. Let the spices toast briefly—this intensifies their aroma and flavor.
Pour in the vegetable stock and scrape the bottom of the pot to release all the flavor that’s built up.
Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, and both types of beans. Stir, cover with a lid, and let simmer on low to medium heat. Stir occasionally.
Cook until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender. As they soften, they release natural sweetness, creating a rich, rounded flavor without needing any added sugar.
Add the sweet corn just before serving and let it simmer for only a few minutes. This keeps it sweet and fresh
Remove the bay leaf. Serve warm and top with fresh cilantro, crunchy cabbage or kale, and slices of avocado.
