Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Once shimmering, add diced onion and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Sprinkle in chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and a pinch of cinnamon. Stir and cook for 30 to 60 seconds until fragrant.
- Incorporate diced butternut squash and sweet potatoes. Stir well and allow to caramelize for about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Pour in crushed tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, and vegetable broth. Stir to combine and deglaze the pot.
- Bring to a gentle boil over high heat, then reduce to low and cover. Simmer for 25 to 30 minutes until vegetables are tender.
- Check the consistency, adding broth if too thick or simmering uncovered if too thin.
- Taste for seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot with desired toppings.
