Roasting the Sweet Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a dash of smoked paprika. Spread them on a parchment‑lined baking sheet and roast for 20‑25 minutes, turning halfway through, until they’re tender and lightly caramelized. Roasting concentrates their natural sugars, which balances the chili’s heat.
