Ingredients

  • 4 large sweet potatoes or yams
  • fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 Tbsps olive or avocado oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 lb. lean grass fed ground beef or turkey
  • 1 white/yellow onion diced
  • 2-3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 cup chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 cup frozen organic corn thawed or fresh 1 head of corn shred from its cob
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 15 oz. jar diced tomatoes, with juice
  • 15 oz. black beans drained and rinsed if using canned
  • sea salt to taste

Extra toppings: sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, organic sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, shredded cheese, fresh chopped parsley or cilantro, lime wedges, etc.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees f. and line a large baking sheet (or two) with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch fries, evenly as shown and place them into a large bowl.
  • Sprinkle fries with pepper and garlic powder, then drizzle with oil. Toss well to get all of your fries nicely coated.
  • Arrange in a single layer, with some space in between (so they can crisp up), on the baking sheets and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping once during roasting time.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large (lidded) skillet over medium heat then add in your beef, onions and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently for about 6-7 minutes, or until meat starts to brown while breaking up the meat.
  • Add in seasonings, chipotle peppers, corn, black beans and diced tomatoes then gently stir to combine.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes to allow flavors to develop and chili to thicken. Taste test, and add a sprinkle of sea salt if desired.
  • Sprinkle fries with sea salt when they come out of the oven.
  • Serve the sweet potato fries topped with your beef chili and any extra toppings of your choice...serving suggestion shown in the pictures!
  • I divided up the fries between 4 separate plates then let the kids top their own.
