Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss Red Bell Pepper, Orange Bell Pepper, Sweet Potato, and Jalapeños from the Vegetables group with 1/2 tbsp Olive Oil and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until slightly softened and charred.
Heat remaining 1/2 tbsp Olive Oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add Yellow Onion and Garlic from the Vegetables group and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in Chili Powder, Cumin, Smoked Paprika, Cayenne Pepper, Oregano, Cocoa Powder, Salt, and Black Pepper from the Spices group.
Add Crushed Tomatoes, Diced Tomatoes, Tomato Paste, Kidney Beans, and Black Beans from the Beans & Tomatoes group.
Add roasted vegetables from step 1.
Pour in Vegetable Broth from the Other group and Apple Cider Vinegar and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 45 minutes, or up to 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the more the flavors will meld.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
