Ingredients

Method

1

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper and cook 5-6 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute.

2

Add butternut squash, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Stir to coat and cook 2 minutes until fragrant.

3

Add crushed tomatoes, black beans, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender and the chili has thickened.

4

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and top with cilantro and diced avocado.

Notes

  • Mash a few spoonfuls of squash against the pot to naturally thicken the chili.
  • Freezes well for up to 3 months — a great make-ahead weeknight meal.
