Sweet Potato Kale Chili - Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of sweet potatoes, diced (no need to peel if organic)
  • 1 large red onion (approximately 10 ounces), finely chopped
  • 2 – 15 ounce cans kidney beans (rinse if not salt-free)
  • 2 red bell peppers, seeded and finely diced
  • 2 – 14.5 ounce cans Muir Glen salt-free fire roasted tomatoes
  • 1 Tablespoon salt-free chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons SMOKED paprika (makes a difference when it’s smoked)
  • ¼ teaspoon chipotle powder (or more to taste)
  • 8 ounces of Lacinto Kale, finely shredded like cabbage for coleslaw
  • 3 cups of orange juice

Preparation

Step 1

In large pot, sauté onion and bell pepper in half of the orange juice for 8-10 minutes until onion is soft and translucent. Add all remaining ingredients except for the kale. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer for 25-30 minutes until the sweet potatoes are soft, but not mushy. Turn off heat and stir in kale so it wilts, then serve. Great with a piece of cornbread on top!
