When I was informed there was no tote bag, I decided to
check out their info anyway, and I’m very glad I did. While I was shocked to learn
that millions of children die each year from malnutrition, it was heartening to
learn what a huge difference this delicious “super-food” could make.
Anyway, I’m going to sign off so I can go add “Helped Bono fight
childhood malnutrition” to my resume, but I sincerely hope you take a minute and check out
One.org for more information about this sweet potato campaign, as well as sign the nutrition petition. Thank you, and as always, enjoy!

Thanks for the yummy recipe. I signed the petition.
Would it still be good if I left out the jalapenos? My children love sweet potatoes and chili, but I'm wondering if it would be a bit too spicy for them.
Just use a green bell pepper instead!
Thanks! I love your blog. Would I be able to roast butternut squash instead of sweet potato? Would it hold up after roasting, like the sweet potato? We've got a bumper crop of butternut squash from our garden - hence the question. Thanks so much!
Not sure, not as starchy as SW. But only one way to find out. ;)
This was my Foodwish! =) Just discovered you! TY!
Looks good, now we just throw in some meat and we are set! It cant be supper if theres no meat.
This sounds great. This is the video of yours that I'm watching so forgive me if it's been asked before...
Is that a bamboo cutting board? If so, what do you do to take care of yours? I've heard a lot of different things
Yes, bamboo. We just wash with soap and water!
Until the sour cream, you had a vegan recipe there! (Might be a good link for the homepage.) I'll be making this for my boss and colleague (both vegans) next time they come over. Looks like a righteous chili!
Looks fantastic, Chef John! I have a question about roasting the sweet potato - could I get the same effect if I sauté the potatoes instead? I'm living abroad in South Korea and my kitchenette has NO oven. Times are tough, I'll get by.
Big fan of yours, thanks!
I wouldn't bother pan frying. Just cook in the chili. Enjoy!
This looks fantastic. Perfect for autumn. Did you cover with a lid or leave uncovered when simmering?
Uncovered. Enjoy!
Ok, can't stand it! Just a tiny, weenie, itsie, bitsie bit of sausage!
Goodness! You know how to make people’s mouth water. I had a good afternoon meal, yet I feel hungry looking at this :-)
Hi Chef John, I'm currently in Saudia Arabia and I searched for ground chipotle powder and ancho chili powder, but I couldn't find any. All I have now is regular "chili powder" and cayenne pepper powder. Can I use these in place of the chilis you used, and if yes, which for which? Thanks!
Yes, you can use cayenne for chipotle and chili for the ancho!
I think you mistyped the ingredients!
I put 3 Tbsp Ancho Chili powder in there and our Chili was so spicy it was almost inedible, despite the wonderful presentation. And I love spicy food.
Should that have been 3 tsp or 1 Tbsp? =)

I used 3 tbsp in mine, and it was perfect. Maybe you got a spicy batch of ancho? I've found it to be a fairly mild chili powder, but I know it can vary between brands. Anyway, maybe I'll change ing. list to 2 to 3 tbsp, or "to taste" to be safe.
Just made this tonight. It was fantastic. I can't see much room for improvement. Though I did grind my own chili peppers. This may become my favorite chili dish.
I am about to make this for my girlfriend, however, I only have Ghiradelli sweetened cocoa. If I omit the sugar the recipe calls for, can this be used?
I only have Ghiradelli sweetened cocoa. If I omit the sugar in the recipe, can this be used? I know you said unsweetened, but IT'S ALL I HAVE!!!!! Thanks Chef John, I've used a ton of your recipes and always give credit where it's due.
do it to taste, but that should work.
New plan! Just told my girlfriend I was making a veggie chili JUST for her and she bought me the unsweetened cocoa! Totally awesome!
I tried this and served it over spaghetti squash. Turns out that was a most excellent idea. This is a very good chili.
Could I use veggi stock insted of water?
Of course not!! ;)
I made this yesterday and it is SCRUMPTIOUS! Thank you Chef John for another great recipe!

I've made this twice now, and it is FANTASTIC! Thank you for a healthy recipe that we can enjoy and feel good about eating.
The roasted sweet potatoes with chipotle pepper really make this special.
I added a 14 oz can of tomato sauce to the chili, but otherwise made no changes.
When I saw this recipe it sounded like a great combination and I knew I had to try it. Today was the day! Amazing...the sweetness of the potatoes and onions combined with the earthiness of black beans and the hot chilis made this an instant winner. It was pretty mild as the recipe goes, so I added Arnold...yum!
This recipe is a keeper!
Awesome! I ground my own chile powder: 2 ancho, 2 chipotle, and 1 guajillo. This turned out to be about 3 Tbsp or so when ground. With 1 large jalapeno, it was perfectly spiced. The smoke from the chipotle really gives it something extra!
I just bought a dutch oven pot after wanting it for so long, and decided to cook this recipe for its maiden performance. This is the first time I ever taste chili. I mistakenly bought normal potato instead of yellow and baked it in a small toaster, used green and yellow bell pepper, chili powder and cayenne. I used red bean instead of black bean and over-simmered.. Nevertheless, everything turns out so great! The spiciness is quite mild but very comforting in the rainy weather. A perfect and healthy dish for my diet, and the sweet potato is just amazingly delicious I also forgot it's vegetarian! Thank you, chef John!
I just made this! Turned out pretty good. I find chili kinda meh most of the time. I added some extra kick and i did end up added a small amount of ground pork. Interesting recipe.
For reference: the whole pot comes out to about 1870 calories.
Chef John
I' m not a fan of sweet potatoes, could i use russet potatoes??

I loved this! Made it for my sweet potato hatin' husband and he liked it too! Huge success. Thanks for the recipe!
Made this a couple of weekends ago for a friend who was coming up for lunch... It really impressed her and the other 5 people who ended up eating it as well! Thank you so much for this amazing recipe :)
Greetings Chef,
This chili was indeed quite tasty and easy to make! ...nothing complicated or pretentious but comforting nonetheless. And to think that I only thought that sweet potatoes came only in cans. Thanks!
Making this as I speak. Trying to keep hands off the sweet potato fries while I wait for them to cool. Added some chorizio to start. I think this is going to rock!
Chef John, you've done it again. This was fantastic. The spice level from the two chili powders was perfect, too...but, I will concede that I seeded my jalapeno like the big sissy I am.
Super Amazing!! This is the only chili recipe we make now! Sorry Mom! :-)

I made this chili about a month ago,and let me tell you it was OUT OF THIS WORLD DELICOUS! I didn't have plain chipotle powder, so I used Lawry's fire roasted chili and garlic seasoning, which has chipoli and roasted paprika in it. It really brought out the flavors in this chili very, very well and gave it a nice and mild smokey flavor. I also accidentally added 1 tbsp of cocoa instead of 1 tsp haha, but it worked out good and I will do the same thing the next time. I added a can of sweet corn as well and made some fresh corn bread muffins to accompany this wonderful dish. It's the best chili I ever had and will definitely make it again and again! Thanks for this wonderful recipe.
Cool...I'm gonna' pressure cook all the ingredients except the black beans and sweet potatoes first and then add the rest!! I'll will enjoy!!!
Will it work if I shallow fry the potatoes, instead of baking them?
I always add teaspoon of ginger to any recipe with cooked tomatoes and leave out the sugar. It takes away the bitterness without adding calories and raising the glycemic index.
What brand of vegetable peeler is that? I'm jealous every time I see you peel something.

For those of you who aren't fond of spicy jalapenos, remove all the seeds and veins. By so doing the heat is removed. If you're still skeptical try a can or two of mild diced green chilies for extra flavor and zero heat/spice.
