Cocoa powder and spices including sweet smoked paprika make this chili rich and the lime juice brings in a burst of brightness. The Delicata squash provides a sweet undertone and heartiness and the squash seeds give an unexpected toasty flavor and crunchy texture.

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, peppers, and a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and start to brown, around 6-7 minutes. Lower the heat to medium and stir in the garlic, teff, cocoa powder, and spices, including the salt and pepper. Once thoroughly mixed, turn off the heat and transfer to the slow cooker.
  2. Add the tomatoes, broth, squash, and beans to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours, stirring well every hour or so, until the squash is cooked through.
  3. Turn off the heat or switch to the warm setting, then mix in the corn, juice from half of the lime, and half of the cilantro, reserving the other half for garnish. Cut up the remaining lime half into wedges to serve on the side of each bowl. Top each portion with a pinch of squash seeds.
  4. Keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Roasted Squash Seeds

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the strings from the seeds and discard. Toss the seeds with a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of olive oil on a baking sheet then spread them out in an even layer. Cook for around 8 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
