  • Make sure to cut your sweet potatoes as evenly as possible. You can buy pre-cut sweet potatoes if you want to save some time.
  • If you have trouble cutting the butternut squash, you can microwave it for a few minutes to help soften it.
  • Hold off on the avocado until you're ready to serve as it'll brown when oxidized. 
  • To store: To store leftovers, transfer the chili to an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 4 days.
  • To reheat: You can reheat chili in the microwave or stovetop.
  • To freeze: Freeze chili in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
