Use a drizzle of olive oil to soften up the garlic, onion, and bell pepper. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Next, add the sweet potatoes, mushrooms, broth, tomatoes, and spices, then pressure cook for 5 minutes. Since there’s a lot of liquid, the pot will take about 15 minutes to reach pressure. When the cook time ends, you can release the pressure manually. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n When the pressure is fully released, remove the lid and stir in the canned beans. Then cover the pot and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes to heat the beans through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, finish the dish by stirring in the balsamic vinegar and serve with your favorite toppings. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Here are a few key notes to keep in mind when making this sweet potato chili in the pressure cooker:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also make this chili on the stovetop or in the slow cooker. I have not yet tried these methods, but here are my starting recommendations for making this on the stove top:<\/strong> To make the chili in a slow cooker, add all ingredients except the beans and vinegar. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours until sweet potatoes are tender. About 30 minutes before the meal is finished, stir in the beans. Just before serving, add the vinegar for that extra zing!<\/p> <\/div> If you don’t have dark chili powder, regular works just fine. It just has a richer flavor profile. I recommend using a little more than the two tablespoons.\u00a0 Once cooled, place leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days or up to 2-3 months in the freezer for future use.<\/p> <\/div> Yes you can! I actually prefer the flavor and texture of day-old chili.

Frequently Asked Questions about Sweet Potato Chili <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In a large pot, saut\u00e9 the garlic, onions and bell peppers in olive oil. Then add the remaining ingredients except the beans and vinegar. I suggest to simmer ingredients for 20-25 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender. Once tender, stir in the beans and cook\u00a0 an additional 10 minutes on low. Add the vinegar right before serving.<\/p> <\/div>
If you don’t have brown sugar, you can use granulated white sugar. The brown sugar just gives it a little more of a molasses like flavor\/consistency.<\/p> <\/div>
Just ensure you have some nice airtight containers that are freezer safe. Keep the chili in the freezer for up to six months.
You can reheat from frozen in the Instant Pot or defrost the chili in the firdge overnight and reheat on the stove or in the microwave.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
