To make this vegan sweet potato chili, simply toss the cubed sweet potatoes in the liquid from a can of black beans, known as aqua fava.

Add garlic, jalapenos, cumin, oregano, and chili powder to the pot, and stir in the tomatoes, water, masa harina (corn flour), sweetener, and cocoa powder. Let the chili simmer for about half an hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Finally, add the drained black beans and the roasted sweet potatoes and let the chili simmer for a few more minutes until everything is heated through.
